Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain in winter?
Time period of pendulum is, T= 2π*SQRT(L/g) In summer due to high temperature value of 'l' increases which increases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock loses time in summer. In winter due to low temperature value of 'l' decreases which decreases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock gains time in winter.
When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain what happens to the time?
it will lose time. it slows as you change level....change of gravity
How much time is gained or lost in a year if the pendulum in a grandfather clock made of brass keeps perfect time at 17C the clock is kept at 25C Assume the frequency dependence on length?
If the clock keeps perfect time and the temp is at a steady 17C, the clock should not lose or gain any time.
Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?
The pendulum will lose energy, due to friction.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.

Will a pendulum clock that is accurate at room temperature of 30 degrees gain or lose time when the temperature increases to 40 degrees celsius?
Virtually all solids expand when they get warmer. Especially in the neighborhood of30° to 40° C, and especially common materials used to construct common householditems.So the pendulum bar or rod ... (I don't know what it's called but I mean the straightrigid thing between the pivot and the weight on the end) ... expands when it warms,and its effective center of mass moves farther from the pivot. This has the effect ofincreasing the period of the pendulum, so the clock runs slower, and "loses time".°

Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain time in winter?
As the arm supporting the pendulum expands in the warmer temperatures of summer, so the swing distance slightly increases, so taking longer to swing and slowing down the clock. Back in the colder winter weather, the pendulum support contracts, getting slightly shorter. This increases the speed of the swing and the timing is increased. So in summer time slows down, and in winter time speed up. This is when adjustment is usually made to regain the correct time.
Why a simple pendulum will not swing continuously in air?
Because of the air resistance which causes the pendulum to gradually lose energy.
When a pendulum stops swaying and its at rest has it loss energy?
Yes. Pendulum lose energy due to friction with the air.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
What does not gain or lose mass?
a closed system will not gain or lose mass
Investigate whether a simple pendulum will swing continuously in air.Explain your finding?
A simple pendulum will definitely not swing continuously in air. The pendulum would lose energy to its surroundings in overcoming air resistance.
