How does it depend on the length of the pendulum, the accelaration of
gravity, and the amplitude of oscillation?
- Gwyneth Atschool on 28 Oct 08
  
  1. For your chosen values, use the formula to find T. Check that it's correct using the stopwatch.
  
  2. You take the pendulum, with the same length, to Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is much stronger. What will happen to the period? What would happen if you went to the moon, where the gravitational acceleration is lower?
  
  3. Explain, with the use of diagrams, why the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium

1. The voltages around a closed path in a
  circuit must sum to zero. (Kirchoff's law #1), the voltage drops
  being negative (following a current through a resistor), while the gains are
  positive (going through a battery from the negative to the positive
  terminal).
2. The sum of the currents entering a node
  must equal the sum of the currents exiting a node. (Kirchoff's Law
  #2)

  Using these rules, describe how current and voltage are shared in series and parallel circuits

Radon Poisoning

Uranium in earth's crust decays to
radium, which decays
to radon.

Radon is an odorless, tasteless,
lighter-than-air gas which
rises
from the ground through cracks
and fissures in the earth
into
homes.

When breathed, the alpha-
emitting radon can cause cancer

of the lung.

Radon is the single greatest
source of radiations for
humans,
providing about 200 milli-rems
per year per
person.
