How can you make a pendulum to swing faster?
If the pendulum was pushed with a large force or if it was heavier. It might swing faster.
What is a pendulum?
A pendulum is an object that is attached to a pivot point so it can swing without friction. This object is subject to a restoring force that will accelerate it toward an equilibrium position. When the pendulum is displaced from its place of rest, the restoring force will cause the pendulum to oscillate about the equilibrium position. In other words, a weight attached to a string swings back and forth.A basic example is the simple gravity pendulum or bob pendulum. This is a weight (or bob) on the end of a mass less string, which, when given an initial push, will swing back and forth under the influence of gravity over its central (lowest) point.The regular motion of pendulums can be used for time keeping, and pendulums are used to regulate pendulum clocks.
Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
What force keeps a pendulum going?
Gravity, but the pendulum does not keep going. Each swing is a tiny bit shorter than the previous one.
How is pendulum swing related to teaching approaches?
how is pendulum swing related to teaching process?

Does the time differ between a long swing of a pendulum compared to a small swing?
Not significantly, unless you start with the pendulum over about 15 degrees or so from the vertical. At large angles the period of the pendulum would increase somewhat, as the restoring force no longer increases linearly with displacement. You will note that clock pendulums generally swing through quite a small angle.

What makes a pendulum swing back and forth?
Gravity makes a pendulum swing back and forth. The object starts at one point, and then moves in a circular motion to the apex of it's next point. The kinetic energy becomes less and less as time goes on if no extra energy is added.
What force keeps a pendulum going?
Gravity, but the pendulum does not keep going. Each swing is a tiny bit shorter than the previous one.
Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.

What kind of pendulum is playground swing?
A simple pendulum.
What happens to acceleration of pendulum at its lowest point of its swing?
The acceleration of a pendulum is zero at the lowest point of its swing.
What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string of the pendulum
Is a porch swing hanging from the porch roof a balanced force?
Yes, a porch swing hanging from the porch roof is an example of a balanced force. The force of gravity acting on the swing is balanced by the tension in the ropes or chains that are supporting it.
When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing' the energy within the pendulum is of what sort?
me
