Acelleration
If you mean the time it takes to swing from start to finish (top to top) this is called the period and if it is the number of swings per second this is know as the frequency.
A spring has maximum potential energy at maximum displacement from equilibrium. This means that the greatest potential energy will occur when a spring is stretched as far as it will stretch or compressed as tightly as it will compress. In an oscillating system, where an object attached to a spring is moving back and forth at a given frequency, the object will oscillate about the equilibrium point, and the potential energy of the system will be greatest (and equal) when the object is farthest from equilibrium on either side.
move back and forth in a circuit. :)
The back and forth movement of an object is called undulation, more commonly referred to as swaying or rocking. An object's undulation is measured in cycles (e.g. the number of times an object moves back and forth) per unit time. Ex. the undulation of a pendulum (such as in a grandfather clock) is usually measured in cycles per second.
The temperature of the air causes the spring in an outdoor thermometer to retract or contract. This motion displays the temperature on the dial.
a pendulum
A pendulum swings back and forth on a clock. It regulates the movement of the clock's hands by counting the passage of time in regular intervals.
A pendulum swings back and forth rapidly due to gravity and inertia.
Strokes.
The pendulum is the part of a grandfather clock that swings back and forth. It regulates the timekeeping mechanism of the clock by controlling the rate at which the gears turn.

A pendulum.
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support that swings freely back and forth under the influence of gravity. The motion of a pendulum is periodic and can be used to measure time intervals.

1. clock pendulum 2. playground swings.
It has a giant spring on it, and when you sit on it the spring pulls back small amounts at the time, causing it to swing back and forth.
You can attach any object - a small stone, for example - to a piece of string.
