Does the length of the string,the weight on the end of the string,or the angle of the drop effect the pendulums range in swings in 15 seconds? In this experiment when the length of the string gets longer the less cycles there is,so the length of the string is our answer.On the angle of the drop no matter what the angle is our average will be 11 cycles in 15 seconds.Once again on the number of washers no matter how many washers there are our average will be 12 cycles in 15 seconds.Finally on the length of the string the shorter the string the more cycles such as on the average it was 17 cycles at 10 centimeters.An observation I made during this experiment was the angle of the drop our average every time was 11 cycles.No mater if you change the angle of the drop you will always have an average of 11 cycles.I feel the length of the string is also our answer because the average on other test are all the same.No matter what angle you drop the pendulum from you will have the same average every time.No mater how many washer you have your average is the same.

====﻿   ﻿ ﻿ Does the length of the string, weight on the end of the string, or angle of the drop effect the pendulums range in swings in 15 seconds? During the experiment the mass on the end of the string or the angle of the drop did not affect anything. The length of the string did. When the string was 10cm long the average was 17 rotations. The average from 1-5 washers was 12 rotations. The average from 10 degrees-90 degrees was 11 rotations. I observed that if you do not get the angle while it is descending or ascending it will hit the white board. I believe that you need to measure accurately to find the correct conclusion. The length of the string affects the experiment the most because the longer the string the more time it takes to make one rotation. I was very surprised when I read the independent and dependent variables about this experiment. ====
