Put in the simplest form and avoiding the math there are two parts to the law of the pendulum. The longer the chord the longer it takes for each oscilation. Increasing length by 4 times doubles the period and halves the frequency. The horizontal speed at the bottom is the same as the vertical speed would be if the body had fallen the distance from its highest point. More detailed information, inluding an experiment simulator is available at: http://www.myphysicslab.com/pendulum1.html

The law of momentum states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant before and after a collision, as long as no external forces are present. This principle is based on the conservation of momentum, which asserts that the total momentum in a system is conserved unless acted upon by an external force.

Total momentum does not change it is transfered from one object to another.
