Important Questions on Motion

MEDIUM
The time period remains fixed for a pendulum bob as long as its length is not changed.
MEDIUM
You have made a pendulum by tying a stone to a string. Its time period is 1 second. You want to reduce the time period. How will you achieve this?
EASY

Look at the diagram of a simple pendulum. The bob of the pendulum is released at point 'X'. The period of the oscillation is found to be 0.25 s.

Question Image

Calculate how long it takes for the bob of the pendulum to swing from X to Y.

EASY

Under what condition, the time period of a pendulum does not depend upon the amplitude of oscillation?

MEDIUM
The bob of a simple pendulum takes 0.25 seconds to go from one extreme position to the mean position. Calculate the frequency of the pendulum. 
EASY

How does the following factor affect the time period of pendulum?

Length of the string

MEDIUM
Given a seconds pendulum having a time period of 2 sec (time period is the time taken to complete one oscillation). What changes can you make to reduce the time period?
EASY

Look at the diagram of a simple pendulum. The bob of the pendulum is released at point 'X'. The period of the oscillation is found to be 0.25 s.

Question Image

Can you change the time period of the pendulum? How?

EASY
Time could not be accurately measured before the principle of the pendulum was discovered.
MEDIUM
The bob of a simple pendulum takes 0.3 s to go from one extreme position to the mean position. What is the time period?
EASY
The time period of a pendulum depends upon

EASY

Look at the diagram of a simple pendulum. The bob of the pendulum is released at point 'X'. The period of the oscillation is found to be 0.25 s.

Question Image

State one measure you can take to ensure that the measurement of the time period of the pendulum is as accurate as possible.

EASY
A simple pendulum takes 32 s to complete 20 oscillations. What is the time period of the pendulum?
EASY
Anushka was sitting on a swing. She asked Atharv to help her to swing. Atharv pulled the swing 50 cm towards him and then left it. How much distance will the swing cover to complete one oscillation?
