relation to the time it takes to swing? So I have an assignment in Science. We've had a few periods to design an experiment to see:
"If the length of a simple pendulum (string holding a 50g weight) affects the time the pendulum takes to complete 5 swings (there and back).

So I was just wondering if anybody knows if there is any scientific reasoning to suggest why shorter string is faster to swing than longer string etc. I want to know if there is any specific Physics-Based Theory behind it that may involve a calculation.

Your thoughts would really help as it is due tomorrow :/
