Skyler Does the length of the string, weight on the end of the string, and the angel of the drop effect a pendulums range in the swings the most in 15 seconds? As the length of the string increase the number of the cycles decreases. The number of washes and the angel of drop made no change, but the one with the length of the string did make change. When you have a string that is 10(cm) the average would be 17 cycels, and when you have a string that is 100(cm) you get the average of 17 cycels, and so the range would be 10 cycels. On the number of washers test with one washer the average was 12,cyclels and with 5 washers the average was 12 cycels. on the angel of the drop test with 90 degres the average is 11 cycels, and with 10 degres the average is 11 cycels. Therfore both the the angel of the drop, and the number of washers would have no change in the number of cycels. I think the short string had less cycels in 15 seconds because the short string has a short distance to travel. The longer string takes more cycels in 15 seconds because it has a longer distance to travel. Caleb

Does the length of the string, weight on the end of the string, or the angle of the drop effect a pendulums range in swings the most in 15 seconds? If we change the length of the string, weight on the end of the string, or the angle of the drop in 15 seconds, then the angle of drop will have the greatest effect on the range in swings because it is shorter and heavier. When we first started at 10cm string we had 17 cycles, Then when we had a longer string we had less cycles. Therefor, the short string with heavier weight has more cycles.

Does the length of the string, weight on the end of the string, or the angle of the drop effect a pendulums range in swingsthe most in 15 seconds? The length of the string does effect the range of swings the pendulum takes, but the weight on the end of the string and the angle of the drop do not have any effect.The shorter strings took 10-20 swings. The longer strings took 6-8 swings. The medium strings took 10-13 swings. I observed that the longer strings took a really long time and the shorter strings went really fast. I beileve that the length of the string is definantly correct. The weight on the end of the string i thought would have the most effect, but i was wrong. I knew the angle of the drop would have no effect.media type="custom" key="9451422"
