The bearing on a clock pendulum is usually two knife edges with a cross piece balanced upon it supporting the pendulum. Sometimes on cheaper clocks a very thin strip of springy steel is used.

What are the parts of a pendulum?
There are three parts to a pendulum. The bearing, the bob, and the string or wire supportig it.
When a pendulum swing stops its energy is changed into what?
A pendulum will lose energy in two ways: 1. by friction with the air, 2. by friction in its supporting bearing. Both these energy losses will produce heat.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
What is a bifilar pendulum?
bifilar pendulum

What determines whether a pendulum swings in a plane or describes a three-dimensional path?
A pendulum on a knife edge bearing may swing back and forth in a plane (relative to the Earth). A pendulum suspended from aneedle bearingmay swing in elliptical fashion on the surface of a sphere.For the movement to stay parallel to a plane which is fixed relative to the stars, the pendulum must have a needle bearing but no initial momentum perpendicular to that plane. However, the origin of that plane will follow the daily and yearly movements of its location on the Earth. Relative to the Earth, such a pendulum's path will appear to rotate once around every sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds).

A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
What is a bifilar pendulum?
bifilar pendulum
What is flashing pendulum?
maybe it is a pendulum
Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
What are the physical parameters in the investigation of a simple pendulum?
The physical parameters of a simple pendulum include (1) the length of the pendulum, (2) the mass of the pendulum bob, (3) the angular displacement through which the pendulum swings, and (4) the period of the pendulum (the time it takes for the pendulum to swing through one complete oscillation).
When a pendulum swings and is not continuously pushed it will stop because some of its energy was changed into what?
The energy of the swinging is converted into heat energy by friction.
Frictionless pendulum is an example of?
Frictionlist pendulum is an example of the pendulum of a clock, a reversible process, free.
