Question

how does the pendulum clock works?​

Answer 1

A pendulum works by converting energy back and forth, a bit like a rollercoaster ride. When the bob is highest (furthest from the ground), it has maximum stored energy (potential energy). ... So as the bob swings (oscillates) back and forth, it repeatedly switches its energy back and forth between potential and kinetic.

Answer 2

Answer:

As it swings from side to side, it rocks a lever called an escapement that locks and then unlocks the part of the mechanism driven by the falling weight. Since (in theory, at least) a pendulum of a certain length always takes the same amount of time to swing back and forth, the pendulum is what keeps the clock to time.
