When a pendulum swings the size of the swing gradually reduces with time until the pendulum stops explain how this can be possible if energy is conserved?
Energy is conserved in an isolated system, meaning since energy cannot be created or destroyed, the amount of energy in the system is the same. The point is, what is the 'system' in a certain scenario. Even if the pendulum was in an isolated room, that doesn't mean the pendulum will swing forever, because energy is constsntly lost to the environment, due to the friction with the air. But while energy is lost from the pendulum, energy is gained by the surrounding air molecules (also isolated), and thus energy in the system is conserved. Eventually the pendulum's kinetic energy will be zero, having lost too much to be able to make it move.
A tightly closed well-insulated vacuum flask is an example of which type of system?
isolated system
What is a best example of an isolated system?
An astronaut in outer space

An example of a mechanical system?
An example of a mechanical system is a simple pendulum. The pendulum consists of a mass (bob) attached to a fixed point by a rod or string. When the pendulum is displaced from its resting position, gravity and inertia create a harmonic motion back and forth.
An example of a pendulum?
one example is a yoyo it goes side to side and back and forth there is an example of a pendulum

What is the term vibration?
The To and Fro motion about the mean position of any system is known as the vibration or oscillation. Example- A simple pendulum.
What is the example of oscillation?
Motion of pendulum.
Does pendulum is the example of static equilibrium?
No, it is not.
