Relationship between period of pendulum and length?
The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
Will a pendulum clock that is accurate at room temperature of 30 degrees gain or lose time when the temperature increases to 40 degrees celsius?
Virtually all solids expand when they get warmer. Especially in the neighborhood of30° to 40° C, and especially common materials used to construct common householditems.So the pendulum bar or rod ... (I don't know what it's called but I mean the straightrigid thing between the pivot and the weight on the end) ... expands when it warms,and its effective center of mass moves farther from the pivot. This has the effect ofincreasing the period of the pendulum, so the clock runs slower, and "loses time".°
What has two hands a round face always runs but stays in place?
A clock.
How many lemons are needed to run a clock?
2 big juicy runs could make a clock run for 5 month but 2 regular ones would make a clock run for 1 month
What is clock-doubling?
Technology used in microprocessors used to instruct information twice the normal bus speed. The Intel 80486DX2/50 MHz was the first processor with clock-doubling and was capable of running doubled to 50MHz. Today, clock-doubling is not required as the CPU runs independently of the Front Side Bus and connects directly to the North bridge.
