What are the two factors that determine the period of a pendulum? acceleration of gravity and the mass of the bob mass of the bob and length of the string length of the string and acceleration of gravity acceleration of gravity and angle of the swing

Respuesta :

The two factors which determine the period of a pendulum is:

A) Length of the string
B) Acceleration of gravity

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

Answer;

length of the string and acceleration of gravity

Explanation;

  • Period, T, refers to the  time taken for one complete oscillation.
  • The period T of a pendulum is affected by the following factors;  
  1. The length of the pendulum or the length of the string; such that the longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the period.
  2. The acceleration of gravity or the gravitational field strength; such that the greater the gravitational acceleration the shorter the period.
