Why is important to swing the pendulum multiple times than take an average time?

The idea in this case is that it is hard to measure a single cycle accurately. If you measure (for example) the time for ten cycles, you can expect the absolute error in the time measurement to be about the same as for a single measurement; therefore the percentage error will be - in this example - ten times smaller.

Swinging the pendulum multiple times allows us to account for any variations or errors in individual swings, leading to a more accurate measurement of the average time. Taking an average helps to minimize the impact of any random factors that could affect the individual swings and provides a more reliable representation of the pendulum's true behavior.

the period
IS tire swing a pendulum?
yes
Who said the pendulum swing like the pendulum do?
Roger Miller, England Swings.
Why must a pendulum swing through a small angle?
A pendulum can swing through any angle you want. But because of the mathematical approximations you make when you analyze the motion of the pendulum, your predictions are only accurate for a pendulum with a small arc.
