The uses of a pendulum are that you can:
And that maybe it!
The Pendulum.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
A simple pendulum has one piece that swings. A complex pendulum has at least two swinging parts, attached end to end. A simple pendulum is extremely predictable, while a complex pendulum is virtually impossible to accurately predict.
The Pendulum.
A pendulum clock operates on the principle that the period of a pendulum (the time it takes to swing back and forth) is constant and determined by the length of the pendulum. By counting the swings of the pendulum, the clock can keep time accurately. The mechanism of the clock uses gears to translate the regular swinging motion of the pendulum into the movement of the clock's hands.
A grandfather clock is a type of clock that uses a visible pendulum to keep track of time. The pendulum swings back and forth in a regulated motion to maintain the accuracy of the clock's timekeeping.
I don't know. But Headhunterz (hardstyle dj) uses it too.
Some occupations that use a pendulum include dowsers for searching water or minerals underground, alternative healers for energy balancing and diagnosis, and physicists for demonstrating principles of physics such as oscillation and gravity.
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum," the narrator discovers a mysterious pool of water in the dark pit, which saves him from being impaled by the swinging pendulum. He uses the water to moisten his bonds, enabling him to free himself and escape from the deadly trap.
The purpose of a pendulum in a pendulum clock is that it uses its weight as a way to keep accurate and precise time. When it swings back and forth the weight keeps it going at the same time every time making for more accurate timekeeping.
o Surveyors and construction workers use pendulum (plumb bob) to accurately locate their transits or levels over a specific spot on the Earth's surface o Grandfather clock o A swing in the park o Seismographic instruments use a modification of the basic pendulum
The pendulum clock was followed by the quartz clock, which uses a small piece of quartz crystal to keep time. Quartz clocks are known for their accuracy and are commonly used in modern electronic timepieces.
As far as I know they have more to do with Newton's law that every action has a opposite and equal reaction. As far as them telling time it may have to do with the pendulum and how long each period (swing) is.
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
