1. The experiment tested how the period of oscillation of a pendulum is affected by the length of the string. 2. Data was collected using a photogate sensor and rotational motion sensor to measure the period of oscillation for string lengths of 20 cm and 10 cm. 3. The results found that the period of oscillation was longer when the string length was 20 cm compared to 10 cm, showing that longer strings result in longer periods.

- 2. ~Engage~ Does length of string affect the period of oscillation?
- 3. •Pendulum is a hypothetical pendulum suspended by a weightless frictionless thread of constant length. •The pendulum’s period is tested by using different length of string. •Which length of string that slower and faster the period of the pendulum’s oscillation?
- 4. What other What can you get application that from observing similar to the experiment? pendulum? What is the graph How to avoid shape? damping?
- 6. PROCEDURE 1. The apparatus was set up as shown in figure 1. 2. The length of the string that attach to the constant mass was set as 20 cm length. 3. The pendulum is displaced so that it performed oscillation of simple harmonic motion. 4. The data were recorded automatically by using photogate sensor and rotational motion sensor.
- 7. 5) The pendulum will oscillate between the U-sides of the photogate sensor and the pendulum is attached to the rotational motion sensor. The rotational motion sensor will measure angular position as the pendulum swings. The photogate sensor will measure the period of oscillation directly as it passes through the U-sides of the sensor. 6) Stop the experiment after the pendulum has make 20 oscillations. 7) The period T for the 20 oscillations were determined. 8) The experiment was repeated by substituted the length of the string by using 10 cm length

- 18. Data analysis Gravity calculation Formula for " Percentage Error": (The "|" symbols mean absolute value, so negatives become positive)
- 19. Discussion • From the experiment, we use data logger as the medium to detect the time and the angular positions of the pendulum • From the graph, the time to complete 20 oscillations can be determine. The period calculated using time to complete 20 oscillations divided by 20. • The time taken 20 oscillations for 20 cm l string was 19.23 s and the time taken for 10 cm string was 15.89 s. from the formula below The time taken for oscillation, T is directly proportional to the string length, l. Therefore, the longer the l, the longer the T.
- 20. • By using the formula: The acceleration of gravity is calculated was • The percentage error calculated in this experiment is • This indicated that there were some errors that occurred during the experiment process. There errors could be: 1) Air resistance (solution: do the experiment at the vacuum condition) 2) Human error (solution: measured the length of l precisely and carefully)
- 21. Conclusion • From the experiment, the value of gravitational acceleration obtained is is percentage error compare to the theoretical value which is • The longer the length of string, the longer the period for oscillation taken. • The data logging application used was Data Studio which the data reading taking automatically by the computer.

- 24. Which Rope should the Fireman Use?? 5 meter 7 meter Why?? Explain?
- 26.  In this experiment that shown by the graph, the longer the string, it will take longer time to stop.  This item swing longer if we can increase the length of string.  We can save our energy to and can just look it swing in our office.  Increase the length will make this decorative item will make it swing for a longer period.
- 28. • The baby will move their body during they sleep. So this cradle will swing because it follows principle of pendulum. • Swinging may make disturb the baby and make them wake up and cry • Based on the experiment we know that, when we release the ball, the shorter string will make a shorter time to complete one oscillation • We know that picture A have long string and near to the ground compare to picture B which is have shorter string. • The cradle A will swing slowly compare to cradle B that may swing from side to side more faster which can disturb your baby when sleep.
