The length and weight of the pendulum bob are what affects how much time it takes for it to make a complete cycle. Pendulums can be used to simulate the movement of a human body.

In the first graph the shape of the line starts from the bottom then increases as the length is increased while in the second graph the opposite is being illustrated. 2. Was there an increasing or decreasing trend? In the first graph an increasing trend was observed while in the second graph a decreasing trend was illustrated. 3. Is the increase or decrease fast or slow? The increase of the first graph and the decrease of the second graph is moderately fast.
III. Conclusion
1. Does the period of a simple pendulum depend on the mass of
the pendulum bob? As the weight of the pendulum bob is increased the slower it takes for the pendulum to make a full cycle. We found out that the weight does affect the speed of the pendulum; however, it is not the only factor that can affect the pendulum’s speed. 2. Does the period of a simple pendulum depend on the length of the pendulum bob? Yes. The length and weight of the pendulum bob are what affects how much time it takes for it to make a complete cycle. These two factors control the speed and number of periods of the pendulum.
