How can you make a pendulum to swing faster?

If the pendulum was pushed with a large force or if it was heavier. It might swing faster.


When a pendulum swings if it is not continuously pushed it will stop eventually stop because some of its energy is changed into what energy?

It simply loses energy. There is no changing of energy. It is not changed into potential energy, because it has no potential to move anywhere. Potential energy is, for example, bringing a pendulum to close to its apex and typing it there with a string.


How does the period of a pendulum related to how hard the pendulum is pushed?

It shouldn't relate at all. The period of a pendulum depends only on its length, not on how far it swings side-to-side.

If 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?

The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water


When a pendulum swings and is not continuously pushed it will stop because some of its energy was changed into what?

The energy of the swinging is converted into heat energy by friction.


How does gravity affect the pendulum to stop?

Gravity doesn't make a pendulum stop. Air resistance and friction in the pivot are the things that rob its energy. If you could eliminate those and leave it all up to gravity, the pendulum would never stop.


When a pendulum swings if it is not continuously pushed it will stop eventually because some of its energy is changed into blank?

The energy changes into is Thermal energy because of the friction caused by it moving produces heat. [Hope it helps]


Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?

The pendulum will lose energy, due to friction.
