HYPOTHESIS: The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing through the air.
METHODOLOGY: A pendulum was attached to the ceiling at approximately 2 yards length. Our group held the pendulum back and let go, then counted the amount of time it took to complete three complete swings. We then divided that number by three to get the mean time it took for one swing. This was repeated seven times. We recorded this data onto pieces of paper and transposed them here.
GRAPH: Above
CONCLUSION: Our conclusion is that the longer the string, the longer the time it takes to complete a full swing. The graph shows that the length of the string has a positive correlation to the time it took to swing.
