Why do bouncing balls and swinging pendulums not continue moving forever in terms of energy?
This is because of energy losses. Every time the ball bounces some of the kinetic energy is converted to heat and lost to the surroundings. The same is true as the ball and the pendulum move through the air. There is also probably a small loss in the deformation of the pendulum string at the fulcrum.

Why did the pendulum keep on moving?
A pendulum will swing nearly endlessly, because it loses very few energy while traveling. Further answer Pendulums don't keep moving forever. They may look as if they are if you only look at them for a minute or two, but they will all slow down and eventually stop if they are not pushed slightly by the clock mechanism neach time they swing.
A swinging pendulum demonstrates which type of energy?
A swinging pendulum demonstrates primarily two types of energy - kinetic energy when the pendulum is in motion, and potential energy - based on how high it is above the mid-point of the swing. If not for friction, a pendulum would continue to swing forever, with the sum of the kinetic and potential energy remaining constant but the distribution between the two constantly changing as the pendulum moved through its swings.
What would happen if a pendulum is set to swing in vacuum?
In a vacuum, the pendulum would continue to swing back and forth without air resistance to slow it down or stop it. This would result in the pendulum swinging with very little loss of energy over time, creating a more consistent and longer-lasting motion.
Does the Newtons cradle keep swinging forever?
No, Newton's cradle will eventually come to a stop due to a loss of energy from factors like air resistance and friction. The initial swinging motion will gradually dissipate as energy is transferred to the surrounding environment.
What will that probe continue to do forever until an unbalanced force acts upon it?
The probe will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed forever, according to Newton's First Law of Motion, until an unbalanced force causes it to change direction or speed.
Why doesn't a pendulum keep swinging forever?
Most pendulums are operated by a spring, when the spring looses its tention it can no longer keep the pendulum swinging. Others may work on a different system but the system in not perpetual and will loose its ability to keep the pendulum swinging. As a point of interest you canot use a pendulum in space.

Why is it impossible for exponentional growth to continue forever?
It is impossible for exponential growth to continue forever for a few reasons. The population will run out of food, water, and space to live.

Why does pi continue on forever?
Because it's an irrational number.
Will the market continue to expand forever according to Adam Smith?
No, the market would not continue to expand forever; it would stop growing when the market expands to its limits, and it runs out of unused resources.
Why is it impossible for exponential to continue forever?
Organisms start to compete for resources.
What is 2 over3?
2/3 = 0.66666666... (the sixes continue forever).
Why doesn't a falling object continue falling forever?
It does continue falling, until it runs into something that stops it, like the ground.
