Simple Pendulum Quiz

What is the definition of a pendulum?

• A pendulum is a device used to measure time.

• A pendulum is a type of musical instrument.

• A pendulum is a tool used in construction.

• A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely back and forth under the influence of gravity.

Name one factor that affects the period of a pendulum.

• Mass

• Length

• No relationship

What is the unit of measurement used to measure the length of a pendulum?

• centimeters

• inches

• kilometers

• meters

What is the formula to calculate the period of a pendulum?

• T = 2π√(L/g)

• T = 2π√(g/L)

• T = √(L/g)

• T = 2π(L/g)

How does the length of a pendulum affect its period?

• Decreasing the length of a pendulum increases its period.

• Increasing the length of a pendulum decreases its period.

• The length of a pendulum affects its period by increasing or decreasing the time it takes for one complete swing.

• The length of a pendulum has no effect on its period.

What happens to the period of a pendulum if the amplitude is increased?

• The period of a pendulum remains unchanged.

• The period of a pendulum decreases.

• The period of a pendulum increases.

• The period of a pendulum becomes unpredictable.

What happens to the period of a pendulum if the length is increased?

• The period of a pendulum increases.

• The period of a pendulum decreases.

• The period of a pendulum remains the same.

• The period of a pendulum becomes unpredictable.

What is the relationship between the length of a pendulum and its period?

• The period of a pendulum is inversely proportional to its length.

• The period of a pendulum is directly proportional to its length squared.

• The period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length.

• The length of a pendulum has no effect on its period.
