Introduction to Science Section B (10 Mark) Instruction: Answer all the questions A group of students carries out an experi

ent to deter ine the relationship !etween the "engths of a pendulu and the nu !er of swings it akes in a inute# $he result of the experi ent is shown in $a!le 1#

% &hat h'pothesis can 'ou ade for the experi ent( $he longer the pendulu ) the slower its ti e of swing is# % State the *aria!le used in this experi ent# I# +onstant *aria!le: $he ass of the pendulu !o!) period of ti e II# Manipulated *aria!le: $he length of a pendulu III# ,esponding *aria!le: -u !er of oscillations

% &hat is the relationship !etween the length of the pendulu and the nu !er of oscillations it akes( $he longer the pendulu is) the fewer is the nu !er of oscillations it akes for a gi*en ti e# % .redict the nu !er of oscillation ade in one inute if the length of pendulu is /0 c # /0# % 0oes it weight of the pendulu !o! affects its ti e of swing( -o) it does not affect the ti e of swing# % &h' is the sing of the pendulu graduall' slowing down after so e ti e( Air resistance slows down the pendulu # % &hat conclusion can 'ou ake fro the experi ent( A long pendulu takes a longer ti e to ake one co plete swing#
