What is the difference between oscillating and rotational motion?
Rotational motion is motion which emulates that of the minute hand of a clock. Oscillating motion is motion which emulates that of the pendulum.
Why do clocks move left to right?
If you mean pendulums, they do that to use the inertial energy of the pendulum to keep the clock going. If you mean why do they go clockwise, it's based off of sun dials which measured time by the spot a shadow cast on a "clock" face drawn on a flat, round surface. Just a tradition really.
What is The Clock rated?
It is the speed taken by a microprocessor in the CPU to execute instructions.. It is often measured in MHz and most often GHz. The faster the rate is the faster your computer can perform calculations and do instructions..
What is an oscilator?
An oscillation is a term we could use to refer to a single cycle of a cyclic or repeating motion. Let's just take one example (so we don't run it into the ground) and see how it applies. And we'll use that familiar pendulum clock. The pendulum on a clock will be driven by a spring. We swing the pendulum up, release it, and gravity and the spring do the rest. The spring, as you have guessed, adds just enough energy to offset the friction loss in the system. When we lift the pendulum and release it, it is pulled down (accelerated) by gravity. It passes through a point where it is at the "bottom" of the swing (having achieved maximum velocity), and then heads up on the other side. It's decelerating here under the influence of gravity - that same gravity that accelerated it. I continues to slow, it stops, and then accelerates back down and across the "middle" or "bottom" again. Up it goes to the top of its arc on the other side, and it returns to its starting point. It has completed one cycle of its oscillation. It has performed one oscillation. Simple, and easy.
What are some examples of apostrophe sentences as figures of speech?
apostrophe: addressing something absent or not human as if it were there or could answer back. example: (to a clock) why aren't you moving faster?
When was the first pendulum clock invented?
Christiaan Huygens invented the first pendulum clock in the year 1656. He was inspired by Galileo who lived around 1602. The pendulum clock was needed as a way of keeping a track of time.
Relationship between period of pendulum and length?
The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
Who invented to pendulum clock?
Huygens invented the pendulum clock, and don't confuse Huygens with Einstein, because Einstein did not invent the pendulum clock.
When was the pendulum clock invented?
1656Christiaan Huygens invented the pendulum clock and was the most accurate clock into the 1930s.
What clock came after pendulum clock?

Why does pendulum clock run faster in winter but slower in summers?
the pendulum clocks gets slow because in summer its length increases due to expansion of heat but in winter it doesnt happens.
How can you accelerate a long clock pendulum?
You screw the adjuster up making the weight higher on the pendulum this will make your clock faster----but only a couple of turns at a time then if it goes to fast screw it down a little you will have to see if your clock gains time over a 24hr period and make adjustments as needed.
Rosa's family has a grandfather clock with a pendulum The clock is not keeping time correctly because the pendulum is swinging too quickly What could Rosa do to slow down the pendulum swing?
To slow down a swinging clock pendulum, one must make it longer. In mechanical clocks, the majority of the mass of the pendulum is contained in the "bob" (a disk or weight) usually at the bottom of the pendulum. If you lower the pendulum bob, the pendulum is lengthened and the pendulum runs slower. This is usually done by turning a nut on a threaded portion of the pendulum just below the bob. Make sure the bob drops as you lower the nut or nothing will change. To raise the rate of the pendulum (make it run faster), you just turn the nut the opposite way.
Who made the first pendulum clock?
The first pendulum clock was made by Christian Huygens, a Dutch scientist, in 1656.
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.
Frictionless pendulum is an example of?
Frictionlist pendulum is an example of the pendulum of a clock, a reversible process, free.
Where was the pendulum clock invented?
In England
