Swinging pendulum comes to rest is it violation of mechanical energy?
Conservation of mechanical energy is only an approximation of reality. There is friction caused by the resistance of air as the pendulum is swinging, gradually reducing its speed, therefore its kinetic energy. As a result, mechanical energy is not conserved. At school, however, in most physics problems, the question or your instructor will most likely tell you to disregard this friction, because its expression only complicates your calculations.

What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?
-- its length (from the pivot to the center of mass of the swinging part) -- the local acceleration of gravity in the place where the pendulum is swinging
What causes swinging to stop?
kinetic energy and potential kinetic energy decrease because a) the air is resisting the swinging item, so the item needs more energy (that it doesn't have) to continue swinging at its starting speed; and b) gravity is pulling it towards the earth. gravity is stronger than the small amount of energy put into the swinging item.
