Lab Report

This document describes a pendulum lab experiment to investigate the relationship between length, mass, and angle of a pendulum on the time of each swing. The equipment includes a support structure, string, carrier, pennies, scissors, ruler, protractor, and stopwatch. The procedure involves setting the independent variable of mass, length, or angle and recording the time for 3 swings. The conclusion confirms that only the length of the pendulum showed a direct relationship to increased swing time, supporting the theory that length is the only factor that affects swing time.

Purpose: To graphically and mathematically describe the relationship between length, mass,
and angles and the time of each pendulum swing.

Equipment and Procedure:

 Support Structure 1. Tie string to support structure and carrier


 String to string
 Carrier for pennies 2. Set up Independent Variable (mass, length,
angle) to set numbers
 30 pennies
3. Record time it takes to complete one cycle
 Scissors
(3 swings)
 Ruler 4. Gather results
 Protractor
 Stop watch

Conclusion:

While experimenting the relationships between angles, mass, and length on the time of
a pendulum swing, our theory of only length possessing a real relationship was confirmed as it
was the only experiment that heralded progressively increasing results, thus confirming the
relationship between length and time.
