Time period of pendulum is, T= 2π*SQRT(L/g)

In summer due to high temperature value of 'l' increases which increases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock loses time in summer.

In winter due to low temperature value of 'l' decreases which decreases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock gains time in winter.

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.


Why does a pendulum stop moving?

Friction in the air. The pendulum actually swings across small air particles and slows it down. That's why, if you have a bowling ball attached to a string and you hold it up to your face and let go, it will swing back at you - but it is impossible for it to gain enough momentum that you had initially to hit you in the face! Common physics :)


Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?

Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.


How much time is gained or lost in a year if the pendulum in a grandfather clock made of brass keeps perfect time at 17C the clock is kept at 25C Assume the frequency dependence on length?

If the grandfather clock is made of brass and the temperature increases from 17°C to 25°C, the clock would gain time due to the brass pendulum expanding. This is because as the temperature increases, the pendulum lengthens causing the clock to run faster. The exact amount of time gained would depend on the specific temperature coefficient of expansion of brass and the length of the pendulum.


Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?

A pendulum slows down and stops swinging due to air resistance and friction at the pivot point, which gradually sap its kinetic energy. This energy loss leads to a decrease in the pendulum's amplitude and eventually causes it to come to a halt.

Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain time in winter?

As the arm supporting the pendulum expands in the warmer temperatures of summer, so the swing distance slightly increases, so taking longer to swing and slowing down the clock. Back in the colder winter weather, the pendulum support contracts, getting slightly shorter. This increases the speed of the swing and the timing is increased. So in summer time slows down, and in winter time speed up. This is when adjustment is usually made to regain the correct time.

Do you have a higher metabolic rate in winter or summer?

Summer. Because it's hot, your body would sweat.... causingyou to lose .05 calories.... and you wanna live

How is junk food good for you?

It isn't to good for you but in small quantaties it is OK. It may be good for you in big quantaties as in the cold winter you can gain weight to keep yourself warm. In the summer you can then lose it by going on runs and excersicing.


Why do caribou grow hair in the winter but lose it in the summer?

Thicker hair is needed as a protection against the extreme cold of winter. The thick coat is shed in summer as the weather can be very warm.


Why a simple pendulum will not swing continuously in air?

Because of the air resistance which causes the pendulum to gradually lose energy.


When a pendulum stops swaying and its at rest has it loss energy?

Yes. Pendulum lose energy due to friction with the air.


What tree would be best in a hot summer and cold winter that does not lose its leaves?

Some conifers would fit these requirements.


Will laying in the summer sun, in a winter jacket, help me to burn body fat fast?

Lying in the summer sun, in a winter jacket, will not help you burn body fat fast. It will cause you to sweat and lose some water weight. Exercise and eating right is the best way to lose unwanted body fat.


Why do bicycle tires lose more air in the winter than in summer?

actually bicycle tire or for that matter any kind of tire does lose air, the heat in the summer causes the air in the tires to expand. That's why is not a good idea to fill your tires to the max in the summer time.


Why do feel more thirsty in summer than winter?

Because they do not sweat as much in the winter than they do in the summer.
