The period of the pendulum is dependent on the length of the pendulum to the center of mass, and independent from the actual mass.
The weight, or mass of the pendulum is only related to momentum, but not speed.
Ignoring wind resistance, the speed of the fall of objects is dependent on the acceleration factor due to gravity, 9.8 m/s/s which is independent of the actual weight of the objects.

How does the weight of a car affect the speed?
Weight wouldn't effect speed but it would effect how quick it would get up to speed.
Swinging pendulum comes to rest is it violation of mechanical energy?
Conservation of mechanical energy is only an approximation of reality. There is friction caused by the resistance of air as the pendulum is swinging, gradually reducing its speed, therefore its kinetic energy. As a result, mechanical energy is not conserved. At school, however, in most physics problems, the question or your instructor will most likely tell you to disregard this friction, because its expression only complicates your calculations.
Does a design of a car affect the speed?
The weight, aerodynamics, horse power and gear ratios all affect the speed of an automobile.
How do different lengths of string effect a pendulums swing?
As the length of the string (or armature) of the pendulum increases the rotational speed of the pendulum decreases proportionately if the velocity of the weight remains the same. Example: a pendulum operating a clock is rotating too fast. The clock is running fast as a result. by sliding the pendulum weight out away from the fulcrum (lengthening the armature in effect) the pendulum slows and corrects the time keeping accuracy of the clock. * note: Metronomes operate using this principle as well.
What does the friction of air do to parachute jumper or a pendulum?
It makes the parachute, jumper,and a pendulum to decrease speed.
How does the height of pendulum affect momentum of the lump of clay?
As the length of a pendulum increase the time period increases whereby its speed decreases and thus the momentum decrease.
What happen to simple pendulum at lowest point of its swing?
At the low point of a swinging pendulum, the type of energy being demonstrated is maximum kinetic energy. It has zero potential energy at this point of the swing.
How does gravity affect a pendulum?
Very little affect. The weight is chosen by: 1) Won't require enormous bearings, or clockworks. 2) Heavy enough so that air resistance is not the dominant force. 3) Not so heavy that the Earth's rotation will not break the clock. etc.
How does the weight of a car affect the speed?
Weight wouldn't effect speed but it would effect how quick it would get up to speed.
How material affect the speed of a car?
Weight

Why do all pendulums swing at the same speed?
Most pendulums are operated by a spring, when the spring looses its tention it can no longer keep the pendulum swinging. Others may work on a different system but the system in not perpetual and will loose its ability to keep the pendulum swinging. As a point of interest you canot use a pendulum in space.
Does limb weight affect speed of walking?
yes
How does the weight of a car affect its speed?
The more weight the car has the slower it goes.
Does a design of a car affect the speed?
The weight, aerodynamics, horse power and gear ratios all affect the speed of an automobile.
How does the size of a toy car affect its speed?
It would affect its speed because the weight of the car is gonna slow it down
What variables might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?
Length of the rope, speed at which the pendulum is moving, friction between the rope and the air, the rope and its suspension point, and within the rope itself.
