How is the motion of a pendulum like that of a wave?
A simple harmonic motion is one for which the acceleration of the body into consideration is proportional its displacement from the mean position and the direction of the acceleration is always directed towards that mean position. It can be shown that, provided that the amplitude of oscillation is small, the motion of a simple pendulum is simple harmonic. All simple harmonic motions follow one rule F=-kx . When the oscillation is small(around 5 °), the motion of simple pendulum is simple harmonic motion.
Why did the pendulum keep on moving?
A pendulum will swing nearly endlessly, because it loses very few energy while traveling. Further answer Pendulums don't keep moving forever. They may look as if they are if you only look at them for a minute or two, but they will all slow down and eventually stop if they are not pushed slightly by the clock mechanism neach time they swing.
Does the mass of the pendulum bob affect the value of acceleration of gravity?
No, it does not. The earth's acceleration is relatively constant at or near the surface; about 9.8 meters per second squared. In short, just because the mass of an object is more or less does not mean it can affect the gravitational force of the earth. ================================= I think you may be asking whether the mass of the pendulum bob affects the result of the MEASUREMENT when we use that pendulum to measure the local acceleration of gravity. There again, the answer is No ... When you look at the formula that relates the period of the pendulum, its length, and the local gravity, the mass of the pendulum doesn't appear in the formula, and the result of the calculation is the same no matter how heavy your bob is. Now, if you want to get technical about it, the 'length' of the pendulum is the distance from the pivot to the center of mass. So, if the string or other means of suspension from which the bob hangs is NOT massless, then the mass of the bob does affect the position of the center of mass, and therefore the period of the pendulum. So for accurate measurement, it's always best to use the lightest possible string, and the most massive possible bob, in order to have the center of mass actually located as close as possible to where you THINK it is.
What is the motion of a simple pendulum in air?
No. The pendulum will slow down by drag from air molecules until the motion becomes exactly the same as random motion caused by the air molecules. But I know what you are looking for-- "Isn't there some tiny detectable motion, even if you can't see it?" Let's look at a hanging pendulum that has NEVER been swung. If we tape a tiny mirror to it and bounce a laser beam off it, we will see a spot on the wall that vibrates from thermal (and ignoring environmental) noise. The average motion will NOT be zero in any finite time. BUT the average motion of the pendulum caused by noise will ALWAYS have some positive value depending on temperature (well, okay...zero at absolute zero). When the original swinging pendulum's motion equals the motion caused by random thermal noise, then the motion is ZERO. So it's a much better question than you might have thought! Quantum Mechanically the problem is even more interesting, since there is a small but finite possibility that the pendulum will launch itself into orbit without warning, but it all depends on statistics.

What does a pendulum bob look like?
A bob is the weight on the end of a pendulum. It can take any shape, but is most often depicted as being round.

Are rose bushes considered a shrub?
No there not officially classed as a shrub most most people say they are due to how they grow and look.

What do tundra plants look like?
There are few plants on the tundra, the climate is too severe. Mostly lichen and fungi with an occasional shrub or small tree.

Why does one of Laura Bush's eyes look like its squinting?
This probably just appears so only because of her mannerisms. In reality, Laura Bush does not have any eye related disabilities.
What is a container grown shrub?
A woody plant that grows healthily within the confinements of a container is what a container-grown shrub is. A shrub may look as thick and wide as a bush or as branch- and trunk-defined as a small tree. Either way, some realize their life cycles in bare ground whereas others will tolerate the restrictions of such containers as barrels and pots. A container grown shrub is a shrub grown in a container for all year round sale.
