Preliminary Experiment: Pendulum Aim - To observe how, the length and amplitude of a pendulum string, affect the time period for one oscillation. Prediction - I predict that the length of the pendulum string is directly proportional to the time period of one oscillation. Also, that the amplitude of the string is directly proportional to the time period. I.e. if I double the length the time period doubles and if I double the amplitude the time period doubles. Hypothesis - In my prediction I stated that that the length of the pendulum string is directly proportional to the time period of one oscillation. Also, that the amplitude of the string is directly proportional to the time period. This is backed up on the scientific theory that if the pendulum is raised at a greater angle it will have to cover a greater distance. Also, the scientific theory backing up the length is Galileo's...
