if the pendulum is free to swing in any direction (not constrained to a single plane, as is the pendulum in a pendulum clock), this is called a Foucault pendulum, and each swing will be slightly offset from the previous one due to the rotation of the Earth. If you were to attach a pen to the bottom of a Foucault pendulum, over the course of time it would make a tremendously complicated spirograph pattern.

What if your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m If the clock loses half a minute per day how should you adjust the length of the pendulum?
make shorter length
A slow running pendulum clock can be sprreded up by?
A slow pendulum clock is sp[eeded up by decreasing the effective length of the pendulum. The weight on the pendulum is usually mounted such that it can be slid up and down the swinging arm. Sliding the weight up slightly decreases the effective length of the pendulum, and slightly increases the rate at which the clock runs. It should be done only in tiny adjustments, because the size of the change might not even be noticeable until a day or two later.
When you throw a ball up into the air on a windy day the motion of your arm is a force that affects the flight path of the ball What other forces affects the path of the ball?
Some forcess that affect the path of the ball is gravity which pushes the ball down to earth and wind could effect the path by blowing the ball a certain direction.

What happens to a puddle of water on a hot day?
if it is in the sunlight, it will gradually evaporate and disappear
What determines whether a pendulum swings in a plane or describes a three-dimensional path?
A pendulum on a knife edge bearing may swing back and forth in a plane (relative to the Earth). A pendulum suspended from aneedle bearingmay swing in elliptical fashion on the surface of a sphere.For the movement to stay parallel to a plane which is fixed relative to the stars, the pendulum must have a needle bearing but no initial momentum perpendicular to that plane. However, the origin of that plane will follow the daily and yearly movements of its location on the Earth. Relative to the Earth, such a pendulum's path will appear to rotate once around every sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds).
How do you prove that the earth moves?
Build a very large pendulum and set it in motion. Then observe, think and explain what you observe over the course of a day.
Which variables made no difference in the number of swings?
Assuming that this question concerns a pendulum: there are infinitely many possible answers. Among these are: the name of the person swinging the pendulum, the colour of the pendulum, the day of the week on which the experiment is conducted, the mass of the pendulum, my age, etc.
What happens with a cup of water over the day?
slowly evaporates.
I believe in the power of the pendulum can an answer about a future change in just a month?
To use the pendulum only in crisis situations, or perhaps once a month, once a day.
What happens if you are hit over the head every day?
You would have a headache.
How a day is measured?
Take a pendulum that is 10 meters off of the ground. As the Earth rotates, the pendulum will also rotate. Measure the time it takes for the pendulum to return to the exact spot. It equals 23 h 56 m 4 s.
What if your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m If the clock loses half a minute per day how should you adjust the length of the pendulum?
make shorter length
two examples of event that occur over and over again?
A new day happens over and over again and again.lol well it does doesn't ?
What happens to tidal zone over the course of one day?
During the day it is covered by water and exposed to air... as the tides move in or out.
