Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?
The pendulum will lose energy, due to friction.
When a pendulum wings if it is not constantly pushed it will eventually stop because some of its energy is changed into?
A swinging pendulum will eventually stop because of friction with the air.
What factors will cause a pendulum to slow down and eventually stop?
pendulum's slow down during summers because the pendulum expands and it moves faster during winters because the pendulum contracts
Why is a pendulum not a reliable time standard?
The pendulum is not a reliable time standard mostly because of friction and gravity. To be a reliable time standard, a pendulum would need to form a continuous arc that did not deviate over time. Gravity is always trying to get the pendulum to stop and friction causes the pendulum's fulcrum to resit continued movement. Eventually, a pendulum will stop moving and remain stationary unless acted upon by an external force.
What would happen if a pendulum is set to swing in vacuum?
it will not stop forever
If pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?
The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water
How does gravity affect the pendulum to stop?
Gravity doesn't make a pendulum stop. Air resistance and friction in the pivot are the things that rob its energy. If you could eliminate those and leave it all up to gravity, the pendulum would never stop.

Why does a pendulum set in motion eventually stop?
Because of both air resistance and gravity that pulls the pendulum down.

In the pit and the pendulum What was in the pit?
a horde of ratsa sharpened pendulum getting ever nearera bottomless pit with wall closing in.

What causes a pendulum to slow down and stop swinging?
Air resistance.
What would happen if a pendulum is set to swing in vacuum?
it will not stop forever
What would happen if you let a pendulum go on swinging?
Obviously, it will stop after sometime , after swinging. It is because we cannot apply energy continuously to the swinging pendulum.
