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
How would you determine the value of gravity using a pendulum?
In practice (as opposed to theory) not only the force of gravity from the earth but all matter in the pendulum's vicinity. The drag caused by air on the pendulum shaft and weight, the friction in the suspension, the Coriolis effect...
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.

How do you find time period of pendulum if oscillations and time taken for it is given?
If you know the time, t, taken for N (complete) oscillations then the period, P, is P = t/N

Why do people add pennies to big ben?
by adding pennies , it changes the time taken for the oscillations of a pendulum ( for it to swing back and forth ) . This can be adjusted by adding more pennies to the top, which makes the length of the pendulum shorter and thus swinging faster. However , if you want the pendulum to go at a slower rate , then you would add pennies to the bottom.
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
What will you use to measure the time taken to run by two athletes?
The traditional instrument used to measure the time of a given run is the stopwatch.
What is thte Accurate way to measure the time for one oscillation of the pendulum?
We could reduce random errors by taking the average of the time taken for one oscillation.
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)
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.
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.
