because in simple pendulum we say that we use a torsion less thread which of negligible mass but actually it's not negligible but in compound pendulum we don't such type of negligible materials hence it's better than the first one

How is bar pendulum better than simple pendulum?
Bar pendulum has lesser air friction while it oscillates to and fro.
What happens to pendulum clocks in summer?
Because the period is based on the length of the pendulum, an increase in temperature (such as that as occurs in summer) will make the material, normally metal, in the pendulum expand - which is why better clocks often had wooden pendulum rods. Since it is longer its period increases and makes the clock run slower than normal. Numerous inventions were developed to counteract this effect, most taking advantage of the properties of thermal expansion of various materials and how they are arranged in the pendulum.
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.
What force keeps a pendulum going?
Gravity, but the pendulum does not keep going. Each swing is a tiny bit shorter than the previous one.
Was the digital clock invented after the pendulum clock?
Oh yes. pendulum Clocks rely on mechanics. Digital Clocks rely on Electronics. And we didn't learn to use Electronics until way later than mechanics.
How is bar pendulum better than simple pendulum?
Bar pendulum has lesser air friction while it oscillates to and fro.
How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
What is the time period of a pendulum on moon?
... dependent on the length of the pendulum. ... longer than the period of the same pendulum on Earth. Both of these are correct ways of finishing that sentence.

Can you use simple pendulum in moon?
Yes. The period of the pendulum (the time it takes it swing back and forth once) depends on the length of the pendulum, and also on how strong gravity is. The moon is much smaller and less massive than the earth, and as a result, gravity is considerably weaker. This would make the period of a pendulum longer on the moon than the period of the same pendulum would be on earth.
How does the length of a pendulum affect the number of swings in 30 seconds?
If it is a short pendulum, then the leg or whatever you call it has a smaller distance to cover, and therefore can swing faster than a longer pendulum.
Why do people with long legs generally walk with a slower stride than people with short legs?
Natural period of a long pendulum is slower than for a short pendulum.
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.
Why was the invention of the compound microscope important?
the importance of a microscope is you can see better than the naked eye!

Why might compound gear train be better than two gears alone?
Because the speed is decreased less from an equal gear ratio.
