A pendulum requires 2 seconds to complete a cycle, which consists of
a complete back-and-forth oscillation (extreme point to equilibrium to
opposite extreme point back to equilibrium and finally to the original
extreme point). As long as the amplitude of the motion (the amplitude is
the distance from the equilibrium position to the extreme point) is
small compared to the length of the pendulum, the time required for a
cycle is independent of the amplitude.
*
How long does it take to get from one extreme point to the
other, how long from an extreme point to equilibrium, and how long to go
from extreme point to equilibrium to opposite extreme point and back to
equilibrium?
#$&*
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
It would take 1 s to get to one extreme to the other, .5 seconds from
extreme to equilibrium and 1.5 s for extreme to extreme to equilibrium.
*
What reasonable assumption did you make to arrive at your
answers?
#$&*
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
That the travel time from one extreme to the other would be constant
