Although the motions of a ship are complicated, for some purposes of analysis, and for short intervals of time, they may be modelled with some success as if they involved only a pendulum, which is quite regular motion. Please see the link.

Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
bifilar pendulum
maybe it is a pendulum
Unless it's in a ship that is accelerating, a simole pendulum will not swing in free space. If it's in a ship that's accelerating, its period will depend on the magnitude of the acceleration.

Pendulum clocks have a pendulum that moves, so on a moving ship the clock would not work right. The ships movement would throw off the clock telling the right time.

A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
bifilar pendulum
maybe it is a pendulum
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
The physical parameters of a simple pendulum include (1) the length of the pendulum, (2) the mass of the pendulum bob, (3) the angular displacement through which the pendulum swings, and (4) the period of the pendulum (the time it takes for the pendulum to swing through one complete oscillation).
Frictionlist pendulum is an example of the pendulum of a clock, a reversible process, free.
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
