A pendulum could be almost anything, even a soap on a string. They're not picky, so I can't really say I know how each part works.

How does the Foucault pendulum work?
The Foucault Pendulum experiment proves that the Earth rotates beneath the pendulum, which proved that the Earth rotates. If one were to make a pendulum on the equator it would not work because it doesnt rotate at that point of the Earth.
What is effect on time period of simple pendulum at centre of earth?
At the center of the Earth there would be no effective gravity; a pendulum wouldn't work as a pendulum.
What is a part of a clock starting with pen?
Pendulum
What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?
-- its length (from the pivot to the center of mass of the swinging part) -- the local acceleration of gravity in the place where the pendulum is swinging
What is the part of a grandfather clock that swings back and forth?
pendulum
Why don't pendulum clocks work at sea?
why pendulum clocks dont work at sea

Does the distance a pendulum travels decrease with each arc?
if by arc you mean the "Period" of the pendulum then yes, it does: with each revolution the period of the pendulum (the time taken to swing back and forth once) does decrease.
Can the time period of a pendulum be infinite?
Perhaps if either:The length of the pendulum is infiniteThe pendulum is in perfect zero gravity and has no momentumBut in each of those cases, does it really qualify as a pendulum?
What is effect on time period of simple pendulum at centre of earth?
At the center of the Earth there would be no effective gravity; a pendulum wouldn't work as a pendulum.
What is a part of a clock starting with pen?
Pendulum
How does a pendulum work?
greetings.a pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy at one point.when the pendulum is at its highest point it has potential energy.it has kinetic energy when the ball of the pendulum is right in the middle.get it?
Swinging part of the grandfather clock?
It is known as the Pendulum.
The part of a seismograph that does NOT move during an earthquake?
the pendulum
The amplitude of the pendulum?
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?
-- its length (from the pivot to the center of mass of the swinging part) -- the local acceleration of gravity in the place where the pendulum is swinging
What is the part of a grandfather clock that swings back and forth?
pendulum
