When were pendulum clocks replaced by more accurate clocks?
In the 1930s
Do some clocks contain mercury?
Clocks that has a pendulum may contain mercury.
What is a pengelom?
That is a misspelling of Pendulum. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Some clocks have this...
What happens to pendulum clocks in summer?
Because the period is based on the length of the pendulum, an increase in temperature (such as that as occurs in summer) will make the material, normally metal, in the pendulum expand - which is why better clocks often had wooden pendulum rods. Since it is longer its period increases and makes the clock run slower than normal. Numerous inventions were developed to counteract this effect, most taking advantage of the properties of thermal expansion of various materials and how they are arranged in the pendulum.
In everyday life where can apply simple pendulum?
Grandfather Clocks and Swings.
Why do all clocks make use of some peiodic motion?
doctor.Galileo Galilee found that a pendulum of a given length takes always the same time to complete one oscillation .this observation led to the development of pendulum clocks .winding clocks & wristwatch's were refinements of the pendulum clocks
Why don't pendulum clocks work at sea?
why pendulum clocks dont work at sea

What objects can oscillate?
pendulum clocks, anything with hinges, door handles

Was the digital clock invented after the pendulum clock?
Oh yes. pendulum Clocks rely on mechanics. Digital Clocks rely on Electronics. And we didn't learn to use Electronics until way later than mechanics.
What instruments did the Elizabethans use to tell the time?
They had pendulum clocks. (What you might call a grandfather clock). Also sundials, water clocks, candles.
Rosa's family has a grandfather clock with a pendulum The clock is not keeping time correctly because the pendulum is swinging too quickly What could Rosa do to slow down the pendulum swing?
To slow down a swinging clock pendulum, one must make it longer. In mechanical clocks, the majority of the mass of the pendulum is contained in the "bob" (a disk or weight) usually at the bottom of the pendulum. If you lower the pendulum bob, the pendulum is lengthened and the pendulum runs slower. This is usually done by turning a nut on a threaded portion of the pendulum just below the bob. Make sure the bob drops as you lower the nut or nothing will change. To raise the rate of the pendulum (make it run faster), you just turn the nut the opposite way.
What time pieces were available in 1778?
Pocket watches, chimney clocks, sun dials, church clocks. Only wrist watches are from a later date.
