Question

A pendulum is set in motion. Consider what will happen to the frequency or period in each of the following situations.

Choose the following for each statements:

Increase

Stay the same

Decrease

1. If the length of the pendulum is cut in half, the period will _______.

2. If the mass of the pendulum is cut in half, the frequency will _______.

3. If the length of the pendulum is cut in half, the frequency will _______.

4. If the amplitude of the motion is cut in half, the frequency will ______.

5. If the acceleration due to gravity is decreased (suppose you travel to the surface of the moon), the period will _______.

T = 2pi*sqrt(L/g)

f = 1/2pi * sqrt(g/L)

1. decrease

2 . independent of mass of pendulam so stay the same

3. increase

4 . stay the same

5 . Increase
