... Aim: To investigate the time taken for the pendulum to oscillate for a time period. Introduction: This experiment looks at the relationship between the length of string on a pendulum and the time taken for the pendulum to oscillate for a period. Oscillation is the process by which the pendulum swings from one peak to the other peak and back again. The period is the time taken for the pendulum to oscillate from one side to the other and back again. This experiment investigates the physics of simple harmonic motion and energy transfer. Factors: The factors affecting the rate that a pendulum swings are: * The height from which the pendulum is released from - Swinging the pendulum back from its stationary point gives the pendulum more potential gravitational energy. Take for instance the weight of the pendulum is 20g and is released from 5cm from its stationary height, then the pendulum has 0.01 J of potential energy (m.g.h). Doubling
