When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain what happens to the time?
The pendulum clock will run slightly faster at the top of the high mountain due to the lower gravitational force and therefore shorter period of the pendulum. This effect is known as gravitational time dilation and is predicted by the theory of relativity.
Can a pendulum clock taken to the top of the will gain or lose time?
A pendulum clock taken to the top of a hill will likely gain time. This is because the force of gravity is weaker at higher altitudes, causing the pendulum to swing more slowly. The clock will then tick at a slower rate than at sea level, resulting in gaining time.
What does the time taken for a simple pendulum to swing to and fro in one cycle call?
The time taken for a simple pendulum to swing to and fro in one cycle is called the period of the pendulum.
What will happen to value of g if compound pendulum is taken nearer to the centre of the earth?
The acceleration of gravity decreases as the observation point is taken deeper beneath the surface of the Earth, but it's not the location of the compound pendulum that's responsible for the decrease.
Independent variables and dependent variables on a pendulum?
In a pendulum experiment, the independent variable is typically the length of the pendulum or the angle of release, as these are manipulated by the experimenter. The dependent variable is usually the period of the pendulum, which is the time taken for one full swing back and forth.

Will a pendulum time period increase or decrease when taken to the top of the mountain?
The time period of a pendulum will increase when taken to the top of a mountain. This is because the acceleration due to gravity decreases at higher altitudes, resulting in a longer time for the pendulum to complete each oscillation.
A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on earth is taken to moonit will run at 6 times faster?
No. It will run 2.45 times as SLOW.
How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
What does the time taken for a simple pendulum to swing to and fro in one cycle call?
The time taken for a simple pendulum to swing to and fro in one cycle is called the period of the pendulum.
If pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?
The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water
Who is the creator of making a clock?
The original 'water clocks' and sundials are ideas taken from old civilizations. But the more recent ones run by pendulum or by springs were hypothesized by Robert Hooke. He worked on the principle of springs and defined and improved the then pendulum. So, he might be called the founder of clocks.

What is a Froude pendulum?
A Froude pendulum is a simple pendulum suspended in a rotating shaft (taken from: VIBRATION OF EXTERNALLY-FORCED FROUDE PENDULUM, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Vol. 9, No. 3 (1999) 561-570)
Time period of simple pendulum is three seconds the same pendulum taken at the moon - what will be its new time period?
This pendulum, which is 2.24m in length, would have a period of 7.36 seconds on the moon.
Does the distance a pendulum travels decrease with each arc?
if by arc you mean the "Period" of the pendulum then yes, it does: with each revolution the period of the pendulum (the time taken to swing back and forth once) does decrease.
