Question

Study the table, which shows the length of a pendulum and the corresponding time period it takes to make a complete swing back and forth.

The length is the: BLANK

The period is the: BLANK

Answer choices are dependent or independent variable

Answer 1

Independent

Dependent

Answer 2

As per the formula of time period of simple pendulum we can say

`T = 2\pi \sqrt{(L)/(g)}`

so from above formula we can see that time period of pendulum depends on the value of L

so here as we change the length of pendulum the time period will also change

so

Time Period = Dependent Variable

Length = Independent Variable
