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.
What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string of the pendulum
Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
Which length of the pendulum made the most number of swing?
The shorter the pendulum the more swings you get.
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.
Will a shorter pendulum swing faster than a longer one?
no the bob on the shorter one has less distance per period to travel
Does the length of a pendulum effect how it swings?
Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.

Does a short or a long pendulum have a longer period?
The time of swing of a pendulum is T = 2π √ (l/g) where l is the length of the pendulum. As T ∝√l (Time is directly proportional to the square root of l) then, the longer the pendulum, the greater is the period. Therefore longer pendulums have longer periods than shorter pendulums.
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.
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.
Will taller hockey players have a faster shot than shorter players?
Yes, because their sticks will be longer, and that means their swing will be longer. Its a lot like golf.
What would happen if a swing was shorter than the other swing?
It would oscillate faster.
Why does a long pendulum string disperse more energy than a shorter string?
Because it has to swish through more air molecules and push them out of the way on every swing, more than the shorter pendulum would have to do.
