How does a pendulum clock work?
A pendulum clock works by utilizing the regular swinging motion of a suspended weight on a rod (the pendulum) to regulate the passage of time. The period of the pendulum's swing is usually set to one second, so each swing back and forth represents one second passing. The swinging motion of the pendulum powers the gears in the clock mechanism, allowing the hands to move in a precise and consistent manner to indicate the time.
Why does a swing eventually stop swinging?
A swing stops swinging due to friction and air resistance gradually slowing it down. As the momentum decreases, it requires more energy from the person pushing it to keep it swinging. Eventually, the swing will come to a stop unless additional force is applied.
