The latter contend that the two are equally valid theories. However, does this hold up to scrutiny?

Investigating an oscillating system Topic: Pendulum (Thomas Ching Y10H) Aim: To investigate the relationship between the time period of a pendulum and the length of the string that holds the pendulum. I would change the length of the string and conduct 6 trials to observe the chance in time period. Any other variables will not be changed to merely test the impact of the strength length on the pendulum. Hypothesis: The longer the length of the string holding the pendulum, the
