How would the period of the simple pendulum be change if the pendulum is moved from the sea level to the top of the high mountain?
It's faster at sea level and slower at the top of a mountain.
Why a pendulum clock becomes slow while taking up to mountain?
The time period of oscillation of the pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) at that place. g is low at heights above the sea level. So T increases. Period increases. So frequency decreases. Hence the slow movenment.
What factors will cause a pendulum to slow down and eventually stop?
pendulum's slow down during summers because the pendulum expands and it moves faster during winters because the pendulum contracts
What would the effect be on the period of the simple pendulum if the pendulum was moved from sea level to the top of a mountain or to the moon or to the sun?
As the force of gravity increases the period would decrease. So shortest period on the sun (if you can keep it intact), then sea level, then mountain top and then moon.
When a pendulum clock is taken from sea level to the top of a high mountain it will?
..weigh less and the pendulum will swing at a slower rate. It might become more valuable (high mountain areas have less access to fine clocks than many sea level communities).
Why don't pendulum clocks work at sea?
why pendulum clocks dont work at sea
When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain what happens to the time?
it will lose time. it slows as you change level....change of gravity
Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?
The pendulum will lose energy, due to friction.
Why is grativaty at sea level?
Gravitational instruments are calibrated at sea level at 45 degrees north because the gravitational pull of the earth varies in various places. A pendulum will run faster or slower according to the gravitational pull.
What happen to the time period if its lenght of the pendulum is changed?
If the length of a pendulum is increased, the pendulum will take longer to complete a swing, and the clock will slow down. Shortening the pendulum will speed up the clock.
Can friction decrease motion?
Yes. If you take a pendulum and set it swinging it's friction of the pendulum against the air, and internal friction in the line that will eventually slow the pendulum down.
What causes a pendulum to slow down and stop swinging?
Air resistance.
