Class 9 Physics Worksheet Final

This document contains a science test with 5 multiple choice questions about units of measurement, speed, forces, and changes to objects. It also describes an experiment to determine the period of a pendulum. A student measures the time for 20 oscillations of a pendulum 3 times and calculates the period from the results. The student can improve accuracy by using a card with a thin line to more easily track the pendulum's motion.

2. A student determines the period T of a pendulum.

(a) She uses the apparatus shown in Fig. 3.1.

pendulum

bob

Fig. 3.1
The period T is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one full oscillation (from S to P,
P to Q and then from Q back to S), as shown in Fig. 3.2.

• The student pulls the pendulum a few centimetres to one side and releases it.
• She measures the time for 20 complete oscillations of the pendulum using a stop‑watch.
• She records, in Table 3.1, the time for 20 oscillations of the pendulum, to the nearest
0.01 s.
• She repeats this measurement two more times, recording the results in Table 3.1.

(i) Explain why the student measures the time for 20 oscillations rather than just one
oscillation.
