By dampening. This can be done by changing the length of the pendulum
The period is 2*pi*square root of (L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g the acceleration due to gravity. A pendulum clock can be made faster by turning the adjustment screw on the bottom of the bob inward, making the pendulum slightly shorter.

What are the factor affecting on the simple pendulum?
The factors that affect a simple pendulum are; length; angular displacement; and mass of the bong.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
Would you keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small or large?
we should keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small because we have to make a very small angle so that we can neglecting value of sin
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
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.
What are conditions used while calculating time period of simple pendulum?
The time period of a simple pendulum is calculated using the following conditions: Length of the pendulum: The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer it takes for one complete back-and-forth swing. Acceleration due to gravity: The time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. Higher gravity results in a shorter time period. Angle of displacement: The time period is slightly affected by the initial angle of displacement, but this effect becomes negligible for small angles.
Does the angle have an affect on the pendulum?
Yes. The derivation of the simple formula for the period of the pendulum requires the angle, theta (in radians) to be small so that sin(theta) and theta are approximately equal. There are more exact formulae, though.
What are the factor affecting on the simple pendulum?
The factors that affect a simple pendulum are; length; angular displacement; and mass of the bong.
What are the disadvantages of simple pendulum?
The simple pendulum model does not take into account some factors that affect actual pendulums. It is a close approximation in many cases. The formulas are much simpler than the formulas for the actual motion of the pendulum. That's why it's called simple. But if the 'swinging angle' is too large the simpler formulas are no longer accurate. Also if the rod, which the pendulum is suspended on, has too large a mass in relation to the pendulum weight, then the simple formulas won't work.
How do the parameters of a simple pendulum affect the period of a pendulum?
The period increases as the square root of the length.
Conclusion of simple pendulum experiment?
Only the length of the pendulum has an influence on the pendulum's speed, not the mass or angle of it. Although if the pendulum is red it may blow-up depending on its status.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
What happens to time period of a simple pendulum if a heavy body is attached to it instead of bob?
The period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob. Keep in mind that the size of the bob does affect the length of the pendulum.
Would you keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small or large?
we should keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small because we have to make a very small angle so that we can neglecting value of sin
What controls the period of a pendulum?
For a simple pendulum, consisting of a heavy mass suspended by a string with virtually no mass, and a small angle of oscillation, only the length of the pendulum and the force of gravity affect its period. t = 2*pi*sqrt(l/g) where t = time, l = length and g = acceleration due to gravity.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
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.
What 3 variables that might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?
The length of the pendulum, the angular displacement of the pendulum and the force of gravity. The displacement can have a significant effect if it is not through a small angle.

Acceleration due to gravity: The time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. Higher gravity results in a shorter time period.
