Does the length of the string, weight on the end of the string, or the angle of the drop effect a pendulums range in swings the most in 15 seconds? When we did all the cycles, the one that had the greatest affect was the length of the string. When we did the experiment, my hypothesis was that the weight would affect it the most. My group which was the weight of the string had an average of all five times 11 showed up 3 times and 12 showed up 3 times. Our observations were that the angle of drop didn't change the average that much.

The length of the string did change a lot because the longer the string was the longer it will take, and the number of washers doesn't change the number of cycles.

I think if we didn't keep control the same, my answer would be so different. The reason why I thought the length of the string was the variable that caused the pendulum to complete the most cycles in 15 seconds, because if the string is longer, the whole string has to move and it will take longer time.

Does the length of the string,weight on the end of the string, or angle of the drop effect a pendulums range in swings the most in 15 seconds. The onily thing that had any effect all was the length of the string. The difference was very notisable. The weight on the end of the string was 11 all together. The angle of the drop was the same all toether as well. The length of the string had a very large effect on the pendulum because it has the distance it has to trael. The cycles slowly decended. 10 was the most and100 was the least.
