Question

describe the effect that the amplitude has on the period of the simple pendulum

Answer 1

increasing the amplitude will increase the period of the pendulum i believe

Answer 2

clue: try to explain how the amplitude of the simple pendulum is directly proportional to its period.

Answer 3

because, i believe, to increase the amplitude you have to pull the bob up higher and because it has to go a greater distance. This will cause the wavelength to increase. This increase in wavelength will increase the period because it take a longer amount of time

Answer 4

that is of course assuming that is is plotted on a graph with time on the x axis and meters on the y axis

Answer 5

uhm no sorry...

Answer 6

wh do you say no?

Answer 7

there is no graph... the conclusion should be that the amplitude of the simple pendulum is directly proportional to its period.

Answer 8

ok well thats basically the same thing. because ill try to sketch it
