When a pendulum clock is taken from sea level to the top of a high mountain it will?

..weigh less and the pendulum will swing at a slower rate. It might become more valuable (high mountain areas have less access to fine clocks than many sea level communities).

When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain what happens to the time?
it will lose time. it slows as you change level....change of gravity
What happens to the energy of a compound pendulum when it is oscillating?
when oscillations taken energy of pendulum dissipates
What happen to the energy of compound pendulum when it is oscillating?
when oscillations taken energy of pendulum dissipates
What will happen to value of g if compound pendulum is taken nearer to the centre of the earth?
The acceleration of gravity decreases as the observation point is taken deeper beneath the surface of the Earth, but it's not the location of the compound pendulum that's responsible for the decrease.
If a pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?
A swinging pendulum encounters "friction" called drag in air. It will do so in water, too. It's just that the viscosity of the air is so much less than that of water, so the pendulum moves with a ton more drag in water. It will move much more slowly in water, and will come to a stop dramatically sooner than an identical pendulum swung in air.

Will a pendulum time period increase or decrease when taken to the top of the mountain?
The time period of a pendulum will increase when taken to the top of a mountain. This is because the acceleration due to gravity decreases at higher altitudes, resulting in a longer time for the pendulum to complete each oscillation.
A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on earth is taken to moonit will run at 6 times faster?
No. It will run 2.45 times as SLOW.
How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
If pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?
The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water

Who is the creator of making a clock?
The original 'water clocks' and sundials are ideas taken from old civilizations. But the more recent ones run by pendulum or by springs were hypothesized by Robert Hooke. He worked on the principle of springs and defined and improved the then pendulum. So, he might be called the founder of clocks.
What is a Froude pendulum?
A Froude pendulum is a simple pendulum suspended in a rotating shaft (taken from: VIBRATION OF EXTERNALLY-FORCED FROUDE PENDULUM, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Vol. 9, No. 3 (1999) 561-570)
Time period of simple pendulum is three seconds the same pendulum taken at the moon - what will be its new time period?
This pendulum, which is 2.24m in length, would have a period of 7.36 seconds on the moon.
Does the distance a pendulum travels decrease with each arc?
if by arc you mean the "Period" of the pendulum then yes, it does: with each revolution the period of the pendulum (the time taken to swing back and forth once) does decrease.
Is a pendulum's time period increases or decreases when it taken from earth to moon?
Increases.
