The time of swing depends on the length of the
pendulum
Pendulum 20 cm ,period of swing = 20 seconds
a
Pendulum 30 cm, period of swing = 30 seconds
Pendulum 40 cm , period of swing = 40 seconds
Pendulum 50 cm , period of swing = 50 seconds

Length of the
pendulum(cm )
The period of the pendulum swing is longer when the
pendulum is longer //
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the
period of the pendulum to swing.
Manipulated V = Length of the pendulum
Responding V = Time taken for one oscillation // the
period for one complete oscillation.
Controlled V = Mass/size of the pendulum bob
2.5 s
The period of the pendulum to make one complete
swing increases with the length of the pendulum. //
The period of the pendulum to make one complete
oscillation increases when the length of the pendulum
increases. //
When the length of the pendulum increases , the
period of pendulum to make one complete oscillation
also increases.
The child R with a shorter length will swing faster than
the child P and Q.
The child R has a shorter length of swing will swing
fastest.
The shorter the length of swing, the shorter the time
taken to swing.
