Read the lab scenario below.
Pendulum Lab
Identify the independent variable.Interactive popup. Assistance may be required.
The length of stringHow is the independent variable changing?
It is increasing (10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm).Identify the dependent variable.
It is the number of times the pendulum makes a complete trip (a period) in 10 seconds.How do you think the dependent variable will change?
This answer could vary - you make an inference.In your notes, write a hypothesis for this experiment.
The hypothesis could be written as follows: As the length of string increases, then the number of periods the pendulum swings in 10 seconds will decrease.
