Does a pendulum ever stop?
yes. because of friction and gravity
How can the period of a pendulum be calculated?
Without going through all the derivations, unless some one wants me to (I could show you my physics notes), the equation for a period of a pendulum with small amplitude (meaning reasonable amplitudes, i.e. less than 45O from the normal) is : T = 2 * Pi * sqrt(L / g) where L is the length of the pendulum g is the acceleration due to gravity where ever the pendulum is (9.8 m/s2 on earth)
How does thermal expansion affect the accuracy of the pendulum clock?
the pendulum gets longer ever so slightly and therefore the clock thinks that they are still seconds but they are slightly longer than seconds. This means that gradually it will become slower and slower.
What is the motion of a simple pendulum in air?
No. The pendulum will slow down by drag from air molecules until the motion becomes exactly the same as random motion caused by the air molecules. But I know what you are looking for-- "Isn't there some tiny detectable motion, even if you can't see it?" Let's look at a hanging pendulum that has NEVER been swung. If we tape a tiny mirror to it and bounce a laser beam off it, we will see a spot on the wall that vibrates from thermal (and ignoring environmental) noise. The average motion will NOT be zero in any finite time. BUT the average motion of the pendulum caused by noise will ALWAYS have some positive value depending on temperature (well, okay...zero at absolute zero). When the original swinging pendulum's motion equals the motion caused by random thermal noise, then the motion is ZERO. So it's a much better question than you might have thought! Quantum Mechanically the problem is even more interesting, since there is a small but finite possibility that the pendulum will launch itself into orbit without warning, but it all depends on statistics.
Why do you hear sound produced by the humming bees while the sound of vibrations of pendulum is not heard?
Generally, no sound is heard when a "simple pendulum" oscillates because of what is happening. It's just moving through the air. In a clock the sound of the "ticking" is the sound of the escapement operating. The pendulum itself makes only "air noise" as it moves back and forth. The pendulum is so small and moves in such a limited way that even if the mechanism was not encased or otherwise screened, it is imporbable that it could be heard moving through the air. In the case of a Foucault pendulum, particularly one of the big ones found in a museum or other display, the weight (called a "bob") on the end of (usually) a cable is massive (to increase the effect of the display - plus, it makes it more "fun" to see a huge weight in motion), and it can be heard moving through the air by a determined listener (if conditions are favorable). Use the link to the article on the Foucault pendulum posted by our friends at Wikipedia.

Why ever thing is so simple to be difficult?
honestly nothings ever simple.

When pendulum stops has the kinetic energy changed to potential energy?
As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.
What was Ray Bradbury's first book ever written?
it was Pendulum this was in 1941. he became a full-time writer in 1942 ur welcome :*
Was simple plan ever dating Avril?
Simple Plan is a band
What is Hammurabi's relationship to Sargon?
The only way Hammurabi and Sargon could ever be related is that they were both emperors. Up to today, there has been no evidence suggesting that Sargon and Hammurabi were ever related. Your answer in simple terms: NO.
