Pendulums are often used in clocks to power the gears that move the hands. However, most clocks built today often have pendulums only for show, as those types of clocks are usually inaccurate and require a lot of winding.

What is the significance of the simple pendulum?
The simple pendulum can be used to determine the acceleration due to gravity.
How are 3 ways to write pendulum in a sentence?
The pendulum swings both ways. Pendulum exercises are used to increase your ROM after shoulder surgery.
What increases the period of a pendulum?
Making the length of the pendulum longer. Also, reducing gravitation (that is, using the pendulum on a low-gravity world would also increase the period).
A is used to keep time in a grandfather clock?
Pendulum
Does the period of simple pendulum depend on the mass of the bob?
Not in the theoretical world, in the practical world: just a very little. The period is determined primarily by the length of the pendulum. If the rod is not a very small fraction of the mass of the bob then the mass center of the rod will have to be taken into account when calculating the "length" of the pendulum.
Is the pendulum still used today?
yes the pendulum is still used today as long as your talking about those that talk to angels yes because i use one and they pretty much work and its real sooo... k yes +++= Yes, the pendulum is still used, mainly in the many old clocks still in use, that are regulated by a pendulum.
