Simple Pendulum

Posted on January 1, 2011 by Arbor Scientific

Students will test two variables, to determine their effect on the pendulum’s period. Just as objects with different masses accelerate in free-fall at the same rate, changing the mass of a simple pendulum will not change its period. Changing the length of the pendulum does effect the period, with shorter pendulums having shorter periods.
