A stopwatch could be used.
when oscillations taken energy of pendulum dissipates
Set the pendulum swinging, with only a very small initial angular displacement. Measure the time taken to complete a certain number of oscillations, and then establish the average duration T of an oscillation. If the length of the pendulum is L, then gravitational field strength g is approximated by g = ~4pi2L/T2 This result derives from the modelling of the pendulum as a simple harmonic oscillator; for this to be a realistic model, the amplitude of oscillations must be small.
Yes, when measuring the period of a pendulum, the interface should measure the time taken for the pendulum to pass through two adjacent blocks of the photo gate. This method ensures an accurate measurement of the period by capturing the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one full swing.
A graduated cylinder is an instrument used to accurately measure the volume of liquids. It has volume graduations marked on its side, allowing for precise readings to be taken.
The energy of a compound pendulum is constantly changing between potential energy and kinetic energy as it oscillates. At the highest points of the swing, it has maximum potential energy but minimum kinetic energy, and at the lowest point of the swing, it has maximum kinetic energy but minimum potential energy. The total energy of the pendulum remains constant unless there are external factors such as air resistance or friction.
If you know the time, t, taken for N (complete) oscillations then the period, P, is P = t/N
when oscillations taken energy of pendulum dissipates
by adding pennies , it changes the time taken for the oscillations of a pendulum ( for it to swing back and forth ) . This can be adjusted by adding more pennies to the top, which makes the length of the pendulum shorter and thus swinging faster. However , if you want the pendulum to go at a slower rate , then you would add pennies to the bottom.

The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.

The time taken for a simple pendulum to swing to and fro in one cycle is called the period of the pendulum.
The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water
The traditional instrument used to measure the time of a given run is the stopwatch.
We could reduce random errors by taking the average of the time taken for one oscillation.
