What is the number of back and forth swings a pendulum makes is called?
If you mean the time it takes to swing from start to finish (top to top) this is called the period and if it is the number of swings per second this is know as the frequency.
When you stretch out a spring at what point would you have the greatest potential energy?
A spring has maximum potential energy at maximum displacement from equilibrium. This means that the greatest potential energy will occur when a spring is stretched as far as it will stretch or compressed as tightly as it will compress. In an oscillating system, where an object attached to a spring is moving back and forth at a given frequency, the object will oscillate about the equilibrium point, and the potential energy of the system will be greatest (and equal) when the object is farthest from equilibrium on either side.
An alternating current consists of charges that?
move back and forth in a circuit. :)
What is a repeated back and forth motion in waves?
The back and forth movement of an object is called undulation, more commonly referred to as swaying or rocking. An object's undulation is measured in cycles (e.g. the number of times an object moves back and forth) per unit time. Ex. the undulation of a pendulum (such as in a grandfather clock) is usually measured in cycles per second.
How does the spring in back of an outdoor thermometer regulate the dial?
The temperature of the air causes the spring in an outdoor thermometer to retract or contract. This motion displays the temperature on the dial.

How does the giant swing work?
It has a giant spring on it, and when you sit on it the spring pulls back small amounts at the time, causing it to swing back and forth.
How do you make a pendulum that constantly swings back and forth?
You can attach any object - a small stone, for example - to a piece of string.
