If the wave period is 15 seconds long, the boulder is hit four times per minute. This means it is hit 2,102,400 times per year.
120 seconds = 2 minutes 120 seconds = 0.03 hour
300 seconds.
The period of a 0.85 meter long pendulum is 1.79 seconds.
A pendulum is a piece of string attached to a 20 g mass that if you double the length it will take twice as long to swing.
A pendulum with a period of five seconds has a length of 6.21 meters.

The pendulum of a clock is the long weighted bar that swings back and forth in the case below the clock. It was discovered several hundred years ago that the time it takes for one swing of a particular pendulum is constant, no matter how big or small the swing is. It can, therefore, be used to measure time.

Not significantly, unless you start with the pendulum over about 15 degrees or so from the vertical. At large angles the period of the pendulum would increase somewhat, as the restoring force no longer increases linearly with displacement. You will note that clock pendulums generally swing through quite a small angle.
When a pendulum is released to fall, it changes from Potential energy to Kinetic Energy of a moving object. However, due to friction (ie: air resistance, and the pivot point) and gravity the pendulum's swing will slowly die down. A pendulum gets its kinetic energy from gravity on its fall its equilibrium position which is the lowest point to the ground it can fall, however, even in perfect conditions (a condition with no friction) it can never achieve a swing (amplitude) greater than or equal to its previous swing. Every swing that the pendulum makes, it gradually looses energy or else it would continue to swing for eternity without stopping. Extra: Using special metals that react little to temperature, finding a near mass-less rod to swing the bob (the weight) and placing the pendulum in a vacuum has yielded some very long lasting pendulums. While the pendulum will lose energy with every swing, under good conditions the amount of energy that the pendulum loses can be kept relatively small. Some of the best pendulum clocks can swing well over a million times.
It's really a long story.In general, the plane of a pendulum's swing rotates in a time equal to[ (24) divided by (sine of your latitude) ] hours.That means 24 hours at a pole, 33.9 hours at 45 degrees, and no rotation at all on the equator.This is happening with any pendulum. Ordinarily, we don't notice it, for two reasons:-- The pendulum has to be free to swing in any direction. A flat stick hanging from a pin can't do that.-- The typical pendulum doesn't swing long enough for the rotation of its plane to become noticeable.

Use the formula T = 2Pi * Square root (L)/ Square root (g) Set T to .75; L is length of string and g is gravity (9.8 m/s)
i dont really know--inertia is the thing that jerks you forward if the bus you are riding in suddenly stops and the period of a pendulum is how long it takes the pendulum to complete a full swing
