Pendulum Oscillation Factors

The video tutorial explores the oscillation period of a pendulum, focusing on its relation to length and mass. Initially, the time for ten oscillations is measured. The experiment is repeated with a shorter pendulum, showing that length affects the oscillation period. A further test with added mass reveals that mass does not significantly impact the period, highlighting the primary influence of pendulum length.

What are the two main factors being studied in relation to the pendulum's oscillation period?

• Temperature and color

• Mass and temperature

• Length and mass

• Length and color

Why is the time of ten oscillations measured instead of just one?

• To make the experiment more complex

• To make the pendulum swing longer

• To reduce the impact of measurement errors

• To increase the difficulty of the experiment

What was the observed time for ten oscillations with the longer pendulum?

• 20.1 seconds

• 17.4 seconds

• 18.6 seconds

• 15.2 seconds

How does the length of the pendulum affect its oscillation period?

• Longer pendulums have shorter periods

• Shorter pendulums have longer periods

• Longer pendulums have longer periods

• Length does not affect the period

What were the lengths of the longer and shorter pendulums used in the experiment?

• 80 cm and 30 cm

• 76 cm and 28 cm

• 70 cm and 25 cm

• 78 cm and 29 cm

What was the conclusion regarding the effect of mass on the pendulum's oscillation period?

• Mass affects the oscillation period only slightly

• Mass increases the oscillation period

• Mass decreases the oscillation period

• Mass has no effect on the oscillation period

What was done to the pendulum in the final experiment to test the effect of mass?

• The pendulum was painted

• The pendulum was shortened

• A second mass was added

• The pendulum was lengthened

What is the primary factor that influences the oscillation period of a pendulum?

• The color of the pendulum

• The material of the pendulum

• The length of the pendulum

• The mass of the pendulum
