Question

A shorter pendulum has a longer period.true or false

Answer 1

Given the statement:

A shorter pendulum has a longer period.

Let's determine if the statement is correct.

Apply the formula for the period of a pendulum:

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

Where L is the length of the pendulum.

T is the period.

The period is directly proportional to the square root of the length.

Using the formula, as the length of the pendulum increases, the period also increases.

Therefore, the longer pendulum will have a longer period while the shorter pendulum will have a shorter period.

Hence, the given statement is false.

ANSWER

False
