1.
The period of a simple pendulum depends on
its mass and length
its length and g
its amplitude and mass
mass only
2.
A 1.00 m pendulum has a period of about
0.5 s
2.0 s
1.0 s
4.0 s
3.
The length of a pendulum is quadrupled. The period
doubles
quadruples
halves
is unchanged
4.
A graph of T2 (y) against l (x) has gradient
g/4π2
2π/g
√(g)
4π2/g
5.
The small-angle condition is needed because
the string would break
the mass changes
sinθ ≈ θ so the restoring force is proportional to displacement
g depends on angle
6.
A pendulum is moved to a planet where g is four times larger. Its period
doubles
quadruples
is unchanged
is halved
