The arc path of a pendulum needs to be a constant. If the string was stretchable the arc path would change randomly, and thus be less efficient.

What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string of the pendulum
How does the pendulum get affected by the length of string?
The shorter the string - the faster the oscillation.
What are the parts of a pendulum?
There are three parts to a pendulum. The bearing, the bob, and the string or wire supportig it.
What happens to the frequency of a pendulum if you shorten the string?
it will moe faster
What is the period of a pedelum?
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot(L/g) where T is the period in seconds, L is the length of the string, and g is the gravitional field strength = 9.81 N/Kg. This equation is for a simple pendulum only. A simple pendulum is an idealised pendulum consisting of a point mass at the end of an inextensible, massless, frictionless string. You can use the simple pendulum model for any pendulum whose bob mass is much geater than the length of the string. For a physical (or real) pendulum: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot( I/(mgr) ) where I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the centre of mass, g is the gravitational field strength and r is distance to the pivot from the centre of mass. This equation is for a pendulum whose mass is distributed not just at the bob, but throughout the pendulum. For example, a swinging plank of wood. If the pendulum resembles a point mass on the end of a string, then use the first equation.
Can an ideal simple pendulum realize?
no we cannot realize an ideal simple pendulum because for this the string should be weightless and inextendible.
What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string of the pendulum
What can you make with a penny and string?
pendulum
How does the pendulum get affected by the length of string?
The shorter the string - the faster the oscillation.
What are the parts of a pendulum?
There are three parts to a pendulum. The bearing, the bob, and the string or wire supportig it.
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
How do you do a science fair project on a baseball pendulum?
You make a pendulum with a basbeall attached to an end of the string. you are testing the periods and oscillation movements of the pendulum.
What causes a pendulum to continue swinging?
Gravity and the tension in the string.
What happens to the frequency of a pendulum if you shorten the string?
it will moe faster
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
Does the length of the string matter for a pendulum to go faster?
yes it does because the shorter the string is the faster it will go (:
Does the string that supports a pendulum bob do work on the bob as it swings to and fro?
No. Work is force times displacement. Even though the pendulum moves, it has zero displacement in the direction of the force imparted by the string.
