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.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
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.
What energy does a swinging pendulum come from?
Whatever put the pendulum in motion in the first place, for example, the energy provided by your muscles.Whatever put the pendulum in motion in the first place, for example, the energy provided by your muscles.Whatever put the pendulum in motion in the first place, for example, the energy provided by your muscles.Whatever put the pendulum in motion in the first place, for example, the energy provided by your muscles.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
What is flashing pendulum?
maybe it is a pendulum
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
What is the relationship between the length of the string of a pendulum and the number of swings?
There's no relationship between the length of the pendulum and the number of swings.However, a shorter pendulum has a shorter period, i.e. the swings come more often.So a short pendulum has more swings than a long pendulum has in the same amountof time.

When I release the pendulum why will it never come back to hit me in the face?
Depending where you have your face, that would mean for the pendulum to get higher than it was originally. This would violate conservation of energy.

What do you mean by time period of pendulum?
You know how when you pull a pendulum to the side and let it go, and then it swings away from you to the other side, but then it stops and turns around and swings back to you ? The period of the pendulum is the length of time it takes, after you let it go, to go away from you and then come back to your hand.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
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.
What is a bifilar pendulum?

When you throw a ball connected to a pendulum how come it wont hit you back?
coz it moves back again
