*We chose this question because we are interested in the movement of the pendulum. We are interested to see if the length of the string will effect the frequency of the pendulum.
*This question is interesting because we know mass does not effect the frequency of the pendulum swings, but we are curious if the length of the string has an effect on the frequency of the swings.
We are testing the frequency of strings with one short and one long string on a 22.5 degree angle. We are giving the string 10 seconds with three washers.
Hypothesis: The longer string the less swings will be made in 10 seconds
Long string: 3 washers 10 seconds: trial one (9) trial two (9) trial three (9)
Short string (around 3 inches): 3 washers 10 seconds: trial one (12) trial two (13) trial three (13)
Results: The shorter the string the more swings the pendulum will make in 10 seconds. The number of swings increased with the shorter swings.
Quiz question: This swing will be irregular because the length of the strings are different cause different number of swings. However, the angle does not effect the swing because the angle does not make a difference in the swings.
