The highest velocity, and highest kinetic energy, coincides with the pendulum's closest approach to the center of the earth.

a. /Type /Font The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity. For a pendulum which has a light string to hang a bob, I know that when the bob swing to the leftmost or rightmost end, the velocity of the bob is zero and the acceleration should be maximized. 176 0 obj
Miss Fantastic.
170 46 So as the bob moves leftward from position D to E to F to G, the force and acceleration is directed rightward and the velocity decreases as it moves along the arc from D to G. At G - the maximum displacement to the left - the pendulum bob has a velocity of 0 m/s. So what forces act upon a pendulum bob? Now here come the words.
177 0 obj since it's a pendulum and you always have Tension as a force, accel is never 0. at the lowest point, all the acceleration is radial. /AvgWidth 615 Measuring Acceleration due to Gravity: The Period of a Pendulum.

The period is completely independent of other factors, such as mass. /Encoding /MacRomanEncoding JavaScript is disabled. the radial one =tension, the tangential one is your net force, =ma. Thus, the pendulum with the shorter string will have a higher frequency of vibration.5. /Linearized 1 What length must the pendulum have? Favorite Answer. A pendulum is transported from sea-level, where the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.80 m/s2, to the bottom of Death Valley. /Encoding /MacRomanEncoding at the peaks resolve your pendulum weight mg into tangential and radial directions. /E 119091 <<
Gravity is constant.
stream This blending of concepts would lead us to conclude that the kinetic energy of the pendulum bob increases as the bob approaches the equilibrium position. According to Newton’s 2nd Law, the acceleration of the bob is largest when the force on the bob is largest.

As you get closer to the bottom of your path, theta gets closer to 0, so the tension is cancelling out more of the gravitational force. /Type /Page A longer pendulum has a higher period; a shorter pendulum will have a smaller period. /X1 214 0 R >> >> 0000036084 00000 n And the kinetic energy decreases as the bob moves further away from the equilibrium position.Our final discussion will pertain to the period of the pendulum. The net force is F = mg sin(theta), because the tension is cancelled out by mg cos(theta). Introduction. As the string is lengthened, the period of the pendulum is increased. << /Pages 168 0 R Use the pendulum to find the value of 7.
