Donna has observed that her father can control the speed of their grandfather clock by adjusting the height of the weight on the end of the pendulum. Donna thinks that the pendulum will move faster when

the weight is lowered, and wants to test her idea. Donna gets a stopwatch and measures the time it takes

for the pendulum to swing twenty times when the weight is moved to its lowest position. Donna begins to

move the pendulum up by 1 cm and continues to measure the time for twenty swings of the pendulum.

Donna records her data.

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Position    Time (seconds)

1             23.23

2           21.56

3           20.33

4           19.00

5           18.02

Hypothesis:

Dependent Variable:

Independent Variable:

Constants:

Control Group:

Experimental Group:

Hypothesis:

if the weight is lowered the pendulum will move faster

Dependent Variable:

Time it takes the pendulum to swing or move

Independent Variable:

the position of the weight

Constants:

same weight and the same number of swings

Control Group:

pendulum at the lowest position

Experimental Group:

different height of pendulums

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a possible explanation for the observation in a given experiment which is "if the weight is lowered the pendulum will move faster" as it states the effect of length of the pendulum on the time it takes to swing.

The dependent variable in an experiment is affected and measured to see the effect which is the time it takes the pendulum to swing or move which is measured here and affected by the independent variable that is the position of the weight.

Constants are the variable that remains constant throughout the experiment that is the same weight and the same number of swings. Control group is the group of subject or condition which minimize the effect of factors or variables except one factor to compare or ensure if the experiment works that are pendulum at the lowest position. The experiment group is the group of a subject that get treatment desired to influence the dependent variable that is the different height of pendulums.

i think that d. wind is the answer.   i missed the question when i answered a. currents.

hi i’m going crazy about going tomorrow and i’ll tell you what i’m doing and i wanna is a way ya
