Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain time in winter?

As the arm supporting the pendulum expands in the warmer temperatures of summer, so the swing distance slightly increases, so taking longer to swing and slowing down the clock. Back in the colder winter weather, the pendulum support contracts, getting slightly shorter. This increases the speed of the swing and the timing is increased. So in summer time slows down, and in winter time speed up. This is when adjustment is usually made to regain the correct time.

Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain in winter?
Time period of pendulum is, T= 2π*SQRT(L/g) In summer due to high temperature value of 'l' increases which increases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock loses time in summer. In winter due to low temperature value of 'l' decreases which decreases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock gains time in winter.
Do you have a higher metabolic rate in winter or summer?
Summer. Because it's hot, your body would sweat.... causingyou to lose .05 calories.... and you wanna live

How is junk food good for you?
It isn't to good for you but in small quantaties it is OK. It may be good for you in big quantaties as in the cold winter you can gain weight to keep yourself warm. In the summer you can then lose it by going on runs and excersicing.

Thicker hair is needed as a protection against the extreme cold of winter. The thick coat is shed in summer as the weather can be very warm.
Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?
The pendulum will lose energy, due to friction.
Why a simple pendulum will not swing continuously in air?
Because of the air resistance which causes the pendulum to gradually lose energy.
When a pendulum stops swaying and its at rest has it loss energy?
Yes. Pendulum lose energy due to friction with the air.
What tree would be best in a hot summer and cold winter that does not lose its leaves?
Some conifers would fit these requirements.
Why do bicycle tires lose more air in the winter than in summer?
actually bicycle tire or for that matter any kind of tire does lose air, the heat in the summer causes the air in the tires to expand. That's why is not a good idea to fill your tires to the max in the summer time.
Will laying in the summer sun, in a winter jacket, help me to burn body fat fast?
