1. Define the period of an oscillation and explain what it represents in the context of a simple pendulum.
2. The video mentions that the period of a simple pendulum is related to its length. Describe how changing the length of the pendulum affects its period.
3. Imagine you have two pendulums, one with a longer string and one with a shorter string. If you start them swinging at the same time, which pendulum will complete one full oscillation first? Explain your reasoning.
