What is fiction how does it affect the swing of a pendulum?

Answer 1

A swinging pendulum follows a simple physical path that is described as simple harmonic motion. A frictionless pendulum would swing forever. Friction generates heat which radiates away energy from the system. Therefore friction will cause the pendulum to slow and stop as all the energy gets removed from the S.H.M. If you rig up a way to replace the lost energy, then the pendulum will continue to swing. This is the method used in a pendulum clock. The energy put into the wind up spring will replace the energy lost due to friction until the spring winds down. The key point is "energy is conserved" which means you cannot create or destroy it. You can only move it from one place to another or convert it into something else.

Answer 2

Fiction is literature created from the imagination rather than facts. It does not have a direct impact on the swing of a pendulum, which is governed by physical laws such as gravity and momentum. However, fiction can explore themes related to time, movement, and equilibrium, which may indirectly reflect elements of the pendulum's motion.
