1). Air resistance
2). Friction in the pivot.
These two effects rob energy from the pendulum. Without air resistance or
friction in the pivot, a pendulum, once set in motion, would not stop.

In measuring the period of a pendulum's motion with a stopwatch how could you best minimize the influence of reaction time?
In measuring the period of a pendulum's motion with a stopwatch, you can best minimize the influence of reaction time by measuring period at the maximum swing point, i.e. the point where the pendulum stops and then reverses. It is at that point that the pendulum is moving the slowest. You should also make your line of sight be perpendicular to the swing, in order to minimize parallax error; and you should have a mark of some kind that you can move around to the peak value, then recording the period between successive peak values.
What do you mean by time period of pendulum?
You know how when you pull a pendulum to the side and let it go, and then it swings away from you to the other side, but then it stops and turns around and swings back to you ? The period of the pendulum is the length of time it takes, after you let it go, to go away from you and then come back to your hand.
What kind of number is 3.14?
It is a rational number because it stops.
Is 3.14 a imaginary number?
No it is a rational number because it stops.
What is a collection of points on a staight path that goes on and on in opposite directions?
If we understand what you mean when you say "straight", then you could be describing a "line". -- But if it ever stops in one direction, then it's actually a "ray". -- And if it eventually stops in both directions, then it was a "line segment" all the time.
How does pendulum stops?
A pendulum stops, because it gradually looses its energy on friction force and tension of strings. Even on the moon, where there is no air to have friction with, it will still stop, though slower, because there is still friction with strings and the string's tension.
A pendulum is designed to transfer potential gravitational energy into what?
When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy
When pendulum stops has the kinetic energy changed to potential energy?
As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.
When a pendulum stops swaying and its at rest has it loss energy?
Yes. Pendulum lose energy due to friction with the air.
When a running car stops suddenly the passengers tends to lean forward because of?
This happens because an object in motion tends to stay in motion
Why an object that moves along eventually sow down?
because friction stops it.
Why do bike stops when breaks are applied?
Because friction is exerted against the direction of motion

What is intermittent motion?
Motion which starts and stops regularly.
What forms of energy does a pendulum utilize?
swinging pendulum has potential energy at each end of it's travel (when it stops momentarily) This energy is converted to kinetic energy as it swings down and back to potential energy as it swings up the other way. Hope this helps you . If the pendulum is long enough it can use the relative motion of the earth's rotation to store just enough energy to maintain a continuous swing.
Why does the clock pengulin stop working?
In order to work, a pendulum requires a form of energy. In a clock weights are attached to chains. As gravity pulls on the weights, the chains move the clockwork. The pendulum swings through the arc of a cycloid measuring the ratio of length, gravity, and time. When the weight on the end of the chain reaches the bottom, it stops providing energy to the clock, and the clock stops. The weights and chains must be repositioned so they can again provide energy to the pendulum. Like all machines, the clockwork eventually wears out and must be repaired or replaced.
What is a force that slows or stops motion when objects rub together?
Friction slows or stops motion when objects rub together.
