When a pendulum swings the size of the swing gradually reduces with time until the pendulum stops explain how this can be possible if energy is conserved?
Energy is conserved in an isolated system, meaning since energy cannot be created or destroyed, the amount of energy in the system is the same. The point is, what is the 'system' in a certain scenario. Even if the pendulum was in an isolated room, that doesn't mean the pendulum will swing forever, because energy is constsntly lost to the environment, due to the friction with the air. But while energy is lost from the pendulum, energy is gained by the surrounding air molecules (also isolated), and thus energy in the system is conserved. Eventually the pendulum's kinetic energy will be zero, having lost too much to be able to make it move.
In the pit and the pendulum how does the character die?
If he does die, it is because he has fallen into the pit. If he doesn't die, it is because french soldiers arrive just in time to save him. The story ends with the arrival of the soldiers, but doesn't tell if they were able to save him from his fall into the pit.
Why are you not crushed by atmosperic pressure?
Because your structure has evolved in order to withstand atmospheric pressure. A creature that could not survive atmospheric pressures would not be able to survive, and therefore would not be able to produce offspring. All of the body's tissues contain dissolved air (nitrogen & oxygen) at pressure equilibrium with the atmosphere. In effect the body "pushes back" against atmospheric pressure, just as ocean creatures withstand crushing water pressure by mostly consisting of water.
Why do you hear sound produced by the humming bees while the sound of vibrations of pendulum is not heard?
Generally, no sound is heard when a "simple pendulum" oscillates because of what is happening. It's just moving through the air. In a clock the sound of the "ticking" is the sound of the escapement operating. The pendulum itself makes only "air noise" as it moves back and forth. The pendulum is so small and moves in such a limited way that even if the mechanism was not encased or otherwise screened, it is imporbable that it could be heard moving through the air. In the case of a Foucault pendulum, particularly one of the big ones found in a museum or other display, the weight (called a "bob") on the end of (usually) a cable is massive (to increase the effect of the display - plus, it makes it more "fun" to see a huge weight in motion), and it can be heard moving through the air by a determined listener (if conditions are favorable). Use the link to the article on the Foucault pendulum posted by our friends at Wikipedia.
Why do plants and animals need light energy?
Most animal needs light to be able to search for their foods and some other important things they need to survive.it is not every animals that needs light,there are some animals that can survive even without light;for example, a BAT a bat does not need light to survive and a cat also needs not too much light to survive.these two animals can see at night so they dont need light. but generally all animals need light to survive.
A simple pendulum vibrates but it does not produces sound.why?
It does, man ears are not able to hear such frequencies.

What must a spices be able to do in order to survive and reproduce?

The Paleolithic people were able to survive because?
The Paleolithic people were able to survive because they were hunter-gatherers who adapted to their environments by developing tools for hunting and foraging, creating shelter for protection, and forming social groups for support and cooperation. Additionally, their knowledge of plants and animals in their surroundings enabled them to find food and resources necessary for survival.
