The answer is cleverly embedded in the question. If it takes one second
to make a complete vibration, then that's the period.
A pendulum with a period of five seconds has a length of 6.21 meters.
Suppose that a pendulum has a period of 1.5 seconds. How long does it take to make a complete back and forth vibration? Is this 1.5 second period pendulum longer or shorter in length than a 1 second period pendulum?
the period
The period of a pendulum is a measure of the amount of time it takes to complete one full cycle and return to its starting position.
If the length of a pendulum is increased, the pendulum will take longer to complete a swing, and the clock will slow down. Shortening the pendulum will speed up the clock.
A pendulum with a period of five seconds has a length of 6.21 meters.
Its length.
Yes. Given a constant for gravity, the period of the pendulum is a function of it's length to the center of mass. In a higher gravity, the period would be shorter for the same length of pendulum.

the period
The time it takes to complete one cycle.
The period of a pendulum is a measure of the amount of time it takes to complete one full cycle and return to its starting position.
Approximately 2*pi*sqrt(l/g) where l is the length of the pendulum (in metres) and g = 9.8 ms-2, the acceleration due to gravity.
Hardly at all, at small displacements or amplitudes. At larger displacements (larger angles), the period will get somewhat longer.
The period of a pendulum ... or of anything that keeps doing the same thing over and over ... is the length of time it takes to finish one complete cycle. Pull a pendulum to the side and let it go. It returns to your hand after one period.
If the length of a pendulum is increased, the pendulum will take longer to complete a swing, and the clock will slow down. Shortening the pendulum will speed up the clock.
The period of a simple pendulum of length 20cm took 120 seconds to complete 40 oscillation is 0.9.
