Question

A pendulum is set in motion. Consider what will happen to the frequency or period in each of the following situations. (Increase, Stay the same, Decrease) If the amplitude of the motion is cut in half, the frequency will ______. (Increase, Stay the same, Decrease) If the mass of the pendulum is cut in half, the frequency will _______. (Increase, Stay the same, Decrease) If the acceleration due to gravity is decreased (suppose you travel to the surface of the moon), the frequency will _______. (Increase, Stay the same, Decrease) If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the frequency will _______. (Increase, Stay the same, Decrease) If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the period will _______.

Explanation / Answer

A pendulum is set in motion. Consider what will happen to the frequency or period in each of the following situations. i'm trying to figure out if each one of these factors will either, increase, decrease, or stay the same. If the amplitude of the motion is doubled, the period will ______. (stay the same) If the acceleration due to gravity is decreased (suppose you travel to the surface of the moon), the frequency will _______.((decrease) If the mass of the pendulum is cut in half, the frequency will _______. (decrease) If the length of the pendulum is cut in half, the frequency will _______.( stay the same) If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the period will _______. (increase) The frequency of a pendulum f = ?/2p = 1/2p*sqrt(g/L) f is independent of amplitude so period = 1/f STAYS THE SAME If g decreases then f DECREASES F is independent of mass so it STAYS THE SAME If the length is cut in half the frequency INCREASES If the length is doubled the frequency decreases so the period INCREASES
