What affects the speed of a pendulum?

Explanation: The only two factors that affect a pendulum's frequency are the acceleration due to gravity (g) and the length of the pendulum's string (L).

How often should I wind my pendulum clock?

Winding ? One Day clock. Wind the clock once each day, preferably at about the same time each day. Turn the key with a smooth motion, stopping when the spring will not wind any further. Never let the key snap back in your hand, always release it gently after each half turn. What did Foucault's pendulum confirm? The Foucault Pendulum is named for the French physicist Jean Foucault (pronounced "Foo-koh), who first used it in 1851 to demonstrate the rotation of the earth. It was the first satisfactory demonstration of the earth's rotation using laboratory apparatus rather than astronomical observations.

People also ask will a pendulum swing forever in space?

No. Pendulums don't work in space, but even in a vacuum here on earth they would still stop. A pendulum requires a pivot where the pendulum bob connects to its supporting object, like a beam. Any pivot will cause some friction which will eventually stop the pendulum, even if it takes much longer than without a vacuum. Accordingly, how long will a foucault pendulum swing?

What happens if you Tribute a pendulum monster?

"When a Pendulum Monster (even if it is face-down) would be sent from the field to the Graveyard, either as a Monster Card or Spell Card, it is placed face-up in the Extra Deck Zone instead. Do you need to tribute for pendulum monsters? Answer: No. Placing a pendulum scale takes a spell/trap zone, not a monster zone, and playing your card this way treats it as a continuous spell, not a monster. Therefore, it doesn't have the qualities of a monster and can't attack, defend, or be tributed for a tribute summon.
