How do you take time one swing of a pendulum accurately?
time for 10 swings will be of 15.0 seconds time for 1 swing will ne of 15.0 seconds _____ 10 =1.5 seconds because the pendulum goes from one place to onther in 1.5 seconds
How can you time a pendulum swing accurately?
one swing may be too fast to time accurately
What is special about pendulum swing?
No matter how high you set a pendulum, the amount of time for it to take one arc (maximum to maximum) will always remain the same.
The time required for a pendulum to make one swing over and back is called its?
That is called the period.
What is clock pendulum?
The pendulum of a clock is the long weighted bar that swings back and forth in the case below the clock. It was discovered several hundred years ago that the time it takes for one swing of a particular pendulum is constant, no matter how big or small the swing is. It can, therefore, be used to measure time.

What is the time it takes a pendulum to swing from one side to the other is determined by?
The length of its chain
Why should a pendulum be swung less than ten degrees?
The time it takes for a pendulum to make one swing is almost exactly the same regardless if it swings thru any small angle. Once the angle starts getting large, like more then 10 deg, the difference in swing time becomes noticable. If you use a pendulum as a clock,so each second is one swing, then if you start the pendulum swinging at about 10 deg it will continue to be one second per swing even as it runs down to a smaller swing angle.

Why can pendulums be used for time keeping?
The time it takes for one complete swing of a particular pendulum at a particular length is constant, no matter how far the end travels during the swing.
What happens to the path of a pendulum over a day?
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 are the physical parameters in the investigation of a simple pendulum?
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).
