Question

PART A : describe different ways a pendulum system loses energy over time.

PART B: if there were no energy losses what does the law of conservation of energy say the pendulum system would do over time?

Answer 1

The pendulum loses energy through these

• Friction along tubes
• Air resistance
• drag
• internal resistance

When you forces it to oscillation then the amplitude increases friction decreases but later on they comes back to their places so energy is lost in terms of heat .

#Part B

There is energy loss so this part is of no use
