Does the length of the sring, weight on the end of the string, or angle of the drop effect a pendulums range in swings the most in 15 seconds? Length of the string, the number of cycles decreases as the length of the string increses. Therefore the angle of the drop and the number of washers has no effect on the pendulums number of cycles. The length of the string at 10 cm. has an adv. of 17 and the length of the string at 100cm. the adv. was 7 so that means that the length of the string does matter. The number of washers at 1 had an adv. of 12 and at 5 washers the adv. was 12 so therefore the number of washers has no effect on the number of cycles. The angle of the drop at 90 degrees had an adv. of 11 and at 10 degrees had an adv. of 11 so that means the angle of the drop has no effect on how many cycles the pendulum got. I think that the length of the string had the effect because when you have a shorter string you have a shorter way to go. Julia

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 mst in 15 seconds? As the length of the string increases, the number of cycles decreases. We did 2 other tests, the angle of the drop, and the number of washers and they caused no change. When we did the length of the string, the averages ranged from 7 to 17, seventeen being ten centimeters of string, and seven having one hundered centimeters of string. The number of washers had no effect because with one washer, the average was twelve, and with five washers, the aversge was still twelve. The angle of the drop had no effect either, because the average for 90 degrees was 11 and the average for 10 degrees was 11. An observation I made was that only the length of the string had an effect on the number of cycles a pendulum takes. I believe that the length of the string had the most effect because the shorter the string, the shorter the distance; the longer the string, the longer the distance. For example, if I wanted to go to George's house, I would take the shorter road because I would get there faster because of the distance. Therefore, I think that it was the distance that made the length of the string hve the most effect. Breck   Does the length of string, weight on the end, or angle of drop effect the range in fifteen seconds. The length of string makes the pendulum do more cycles. The length of string has higher numbers and lower numbers. The lower it was the more cycles it did. The highest string did less cycles it did. The middle sting was in the middle. We all created a data table. I think the angle of drop is the least. It made the cycles smaller and faster. It didn't have to go as fast.
