Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

The Pendulum Swing

A child moving backwards and forwards on a swing, the timing mechanism of a Grandfather clock and a weight swung to and fro on the end of a string are all examples of pendulums – devices first studied by the scientist Galileo Galilei in 1581. He noticed that, although all of the lanterns suspended from long chains in a cathedral swung backwards and forwards, they did so at different rates. He started to wonder what had the biggest effect on the period (the time taken for a lantern to make one complete swing forward and backward) – the length of the chain, the mass of the lantern or how far back the lantern was first moved before it started to swing (called its amplitude). As a scientist, he performed hundreds of experiments until he found out that all swinging objects or pendulums followed the same rules: firstly, pendulums that had the same length had the same period regardless of amplitude or the size of the mass at their end and, secondly, that the square of the period in seconds was proportional to the length of the pendulum.

1:- In Galileo’s experiments to determine how the length of the pendulum affects its period, the independent variable would have been the pendulum’s
1) time.
2) mass.
3) length.
4) amplitude.

2:- While investigating the effect of a pendulum’s mass on its period, the pendulum string breaks when you are only half way through collecting your 50 pieces of data. Which course of action is the most likely to produce unreliable results?
1) Knotting the string back together and continuing to collect data.
2) Using only the data that you collected before the string broke.
3) Starting the experiment over again with a new pendulum string.
4) Starting the experiment again using the shortened pendulum string.

3:- Pendulum A swings twice during the time that pendulum B swings once. What is the relationship between their lengths?
1) Pendulum A is twice as long as pendulum B.
2) Pendulum B is twice as long as pendulum A.
3) Pendulum A is four times longer than pendulum B.
4) Pendulum B is four times longer than pendulum A.

4:- Two pendulums, of different lengths are pulled back and released at the same time. If one has a period of 2 seconds and the other 3 seconds, how many times in a minute will both pendulums be back at their respective release points at the same time?
1) 10
2) 12
3) 15
4) 40
