In what way does the period of a simple pendulum depend on its amplitude?(1 point) Responses Doubling the amplitude of a simple pendulum causes the period to increase by a factor of 2–√ . Doubling the amplitude of a simple pendulum causes the period to increase by a factor of square root of 2 . The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on amplitude. The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on amplitude. Doubling the amplitude of a simple pendulum reduces the period by half. Doubling the amplitude of a simple pendulum reduces the period by half. Doubling the amplitude of a simple pendulum causes the period to double.

Answer 1

The correct response is: The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on amplitude.

For small amplitudes (small-angle approximation), the period of a simple pendulum is primarily determined by its length and the acceleration due to gravity, and it remains approximately constant regardless of the amplitude, as long as the amplitude is not too large.
