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...
In everyday life where can apply simple pendulum?
Grandfather Clocks and Swings.
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.
Why don't pendulum clocks work at sea?
why pendulum clocks dont work at sea

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

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

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.
What time pieces were available in 1778?
Pocket watches, chimney clocks, sun dials, church clocks. Only wrist watches are from a later date.
What advantages are there to having a wall clock that operates on a pendulum?
Many wall clocks function from an internal gear that keeps the time smooth, yet erratic. However, clocks that incorporate a pendulum are much more accurate. The reason is that pendulums always have a set period regardless of the cord length, thus by the laws of physics they are subject to remain at a constant beat and keep tie extremely efficiently. In addition, a pendulum functioned wall clock is very quiet and offers a sense of silence unlike that of its gear operated counterpart.
How time was measured when pendulum clocks was not available?
in earlier times time was measured by sandclock or waterclock
