What is the formula for the period of a simple pendulum?

Back

T = 2π√(L/g), where T is the period, L is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

How does the length of a pendulum affect its period?

Back

The period increases as the length of the pendulum increases.

Front

What is the effect of mass on the period of a simple pendulum?

Back

The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on its mass.

Front

What happens to the period of a pendulum if the acceleration due to gravity increases?

Back

The period decreases as the acceleration due to gravity increases.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and period in oscillatory motion?

Back

Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T): f = 1/T.

Front

How does the spring constant affect the frequency of a mass-spring oscillator?

Back

Increasing the spring constant increases the frequency of the oscillator.

Front

What is the formula for the period of a mass-spring oscillator?

Back

T = 2π√(m/k), where T is the period, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant.

Front

If the mass of a mass-spring oscillator is halved, what happens to its period?

Back

The period decreases.

Front

What is simple harmonic motion (SHM)?

Back

SHM is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position.

Front

What is the effect of damping on oscillatory motion?

Back

Damping reduces the amplitude of oscillations over time.
