Pendulums have been used for thousands of years as a time keeping device in various civilizations.
Assuming that it is only displaced by a small angle, a pendulum wall have a period of 2pi*√(L/g) where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceeleration due to gravity, normally 9.81m/s².
One of the cool things about pendulums is that if one is made with a length of one meter, it will have a period of 2.00607 seconds, meaning it will take just slightly more than one second to swing from one side to another.
A Foucault pendulum is a pendulum with a large length which is free to oscillate in any vertical plane. At the equator, the plane of oscillation remains fixed relative to the earth. Elsewhere, the plane of oscillation rotates, at a speed that is related to the latitude of the location. In Paris, where Foucault's pendulum is located, the plane of the pendulum's oscillation moves at approx 11 degrees per hour. This movement can be used to tell the time.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
A simple pendulum has one piece that swings. A complex pendulum has at least two swinging parts, attached end to end. A simple pendulum is extremely predictable, while a complex pendulum is virtually impossible to accurately predict.
The purpose of a pendulum in a pendulum clock is that it uses its weight as a way to keep accurate and precise time. When it swings back and forth the weight keeps it going at the same time every time making for more accurate timekeeping.
it is just a werid thing people look up

Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
maybe it is a pendulum
bifilar pendulum
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
The physical parameters of a simple pendulum include (1) the length of the pendulum, (2) the mass of the pendulum bob, (3) the angular displacement through which the pendulum swings, and (4) the period of the pendulum (the time it takes for the pendulum to swing through one complete oscillation).
Frictionlist pendulum is an example of the pendulum of a clock, a reversible process, free.
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
