The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
Any terminal object such as the weight on a pendulum is known as a Bob. It can also be called a Mass
The purpose of a pendulum in a pendulum clock is that it uses its weight as a way to keep accurate and precise time. When it swings back and forth the weight keeps it going at the same time every time making for more accurate timekeeping.
It doesn't. Period depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration of gravity. Adding weight doesn't change the period at all.
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...
The weight of the bob will determine how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest in the absence of applied forces. The period, or time of 1 oscillation, is determined only by the length of the pendulum.

The bob is the weight on the end of the pendulum.
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
The purpose of a pendulum in a pendulum clock is that it uses its weight as a way to keep accurate and precise time. When it swings back and forth the weight keeps it going at the same time every time making for more accurate timekeeping.
The weight that swings back and forth on a fixed rod in Edgar Allan Poe's story is called a pendulum. The story is named "The Pit and the Pendulum."
The model you are referring to is called a pendulum. In this setup, a weight is hung from a wire or string, and when the weight is displaced horizontally, it oscillates back and forth due to gravity. The motion of the pendulum can be used to detect and measure horizontal movement or acceleration.
It doesn't. Period depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration of gravity. Adding weight doesn't change the period at all.
Three ways to modify a pendulum include: * Change the length * Change the size of the end-weight * Change the weight of the end-weight

The weight of the bob will determine how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest in the absence of applied forces. The period, or time of 1 oscillation, is determined only by the length of the pendulum.
The bob is the weight at the end of the pendulum. For example, in a grandfather clock the ball at the end of the stick is the bob.
I have a pendulum clock or my dog's tail swung like a pendulum when he heard the jingle of his lead. Dictionary definition for pendulum- A weight hung from a fixed point so that it can swing freely backward and forward, esp. a rod with a weight at the end that regulates the mechanism of a clock.
