Pendulum
A swinging chandelier in a cathedral got Galileo thinking
about the motion of pendulums, which led to the experiments he
conducted while at the University of Pisa.
Experiment with a pendulum. See how changing its weight, the
height of release, and its length affects its period (how fast
it makes one complete swing).
Which of the following statements is true?
-
changing the bob's weight changes the pendulum's
period
-
changing the release height changes the pendulum's
period
-
changing the length changes the pendulum's period
