What is the swinging component of a grandfather clock called?
Grandfather's clock has a swinging part called a, "Pendulum". (PEN dyoo-lumm)
What would make a clock pendulum start swinging once it's stopped for days?
Only an external FORCE acting on the Pendulum could realistically restart the clockworks.
Rosa's family has a grandfather clock with a pendulum The clock is not keeping time correctly because the pendulum is swinging too quickly What could Rosa do to slow down the pendulum swing?
To slow down a swinging clock pendulum, one must make it longer. In mechanical clocks, the majority of the mass of the pendulum is contained in the "bob" (a disk or weight) usually at the bottom of the pendulum. If you lower the pendulum bob, the pendulum is lengthened and the pendulum runs slower. This is usually done by turning a nut on a threaded portion of the pendulum just below the bob. Make sure the bob drops as you lower the nut or nothing will change. To raise the rate of the pendulum (make it run faster), you just turn the nut the opposite way.
What makes a swinging clock swing?
The pendulum acts as an escape(Anchor) mechanism faciltating the movements of the clock - face e.g. the hour and minute hands . "An escapement is the mechanism in a mechanical clock that maintains the swing of the pendulum and advances the clock's wheels at each swing. " Excerpt from Wikipedia . See links .
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.

Pendulum
Swinging part of the grandfather clock?
It is known as the Pendulum.

The four types of motion?
Rotary motion is turning round in a circle, such as a wheel turning.Linear motion is moving in a straight line, such as on a paper trimmer.Reciprocating motion is moving backwards and forwards in a straight line, as in cutting with a saw.Oscillating motion is swinging from side to side, like a pendulum in a clock.

Please give two examples of 'oscillation'?
A clock pendulum swinging back and forth. A weight on a spring moving up and down.
Rose's cuckoo clock is powered by a pendulum which she has to push gently to the right of left couple of days after it stops swinging. rose's clock is a perfect example of the fact that?
Rose's cuckoo clock demonstrates the principle of a pendulum's need to be reset periodically to maintain its motion. This is in line with the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred or transformed. The clock's reliance on the pendulum's swinging motion for power exemplifies the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy, allowing the clock to function.
