Question
A simple pendulum takes 20 seconds to complete 12 oscillations. Calculate its time period. What type of motion does the pendulum undergo?  [3 MARKS]
Answer:
:
Formula: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark
Type of motion: 1 Mark
i) The time period of a pendulum is the amount of time it takes to complete 1 oscillation.
Therefore the time period for 12 oscillations in 20 seconds can be calculated as,
Timeperiod=TotaltimeNo.ofoscillations=2012=1.67Seconds
ii) A Pendulum undergoes periodic motion. Periodic motion is a type of motion, in which the objectrepeats its motionin regular intervals of time.
