A student is taking part in a pendulum lab. They realize that period only depends on length of pendulum. Look at a plot of period vs. length.
a. Describe the relationship between length and period. Is it linear or nonlinear?*
b. When plotting data for mass and initial angle and corresponding periods, does period depend on mass and initial angle? What would the data look like?
c. when experimentally testing to see if period depends on mass/initial angle, why does it not matter what mass one uses any size mass on the pendulum to test if angle alters period? Is this because changing mass does not alter the period length, and thus using ANY mass is telling of what affect the angle has on period?
*I was told this was non linear. Is this right, and if so, why?
A block oscillating on a spring has period T = 2.0 s.a. What is the period if the block’s mass is doubled?b. What is the period if the value of the spring constant is quadrupled?c. What is the period if the oscillation amplitude is doubled while m and k are unchanged?Note: You do not know values for either m or k. Do not assume any particular values for them. The required analysis involves thinking about ratios.
A 1.6 g spider is dangling at the end of a silk thread. You can make the
spider bounce up and down on the thread by tapping lightly on his feet
with a pencil. You soon discover that you can give the spider the largest
amplitude on his little bungee cord if you tap exactly once every second.
