Pendulum

Arif Zaman 9/12/00 Hon. Matter/Energy Pd.8 A Swinging Time Purpose: To determine the factor(s) that affect the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis: The factors that I think will affect the period of the pendulum are the displacement and the suspended mass because if the mass of the bob is a lot than it will take more force for the pendulum to swing and if there’s a high displacement it will give the pendulum …

…The two are similar, however, a hypothesis is your or the answer to the problem. A law is a summarized statement of observed experimental facts that has been tested many times and is generally accepted true. A law was once a theory but was proven correct after many trials.” I think that this was a quantitative lab because we were observing measurements of time, length, and mass.
