A student uses a stop-watch to find the time for one full oscillation of a pendulum. Fig. 2.1 shows the measurement he made.
(a)[1]
State the time for one full oscillation. Use the details in Fig. 2.1.
(b)[2]
Calculate the average time for one full oscillation.
(c)[2]
A student holds the pendulum bob at P and then lets it go. Describe the movement of the pendulum bob during one complete oscillation of the pendulum. You may draw on Fig. 2.2 as part of your answer.
