Will A Pendulum Swing Forever. In reality, each swing sees friction and drag steal a bit more energy from the pendulum and it gradually comes to a halt. A pendulum is a mass suspended from a pivot point that is free to swing back and forth. Friction can come from the air around it and the pivot it swings on. No, it is not possible to create a swinging pendulum that swings. A perfect pendulum will swing forever. But even as it slows down, it keeps time. Is it possible to create a swinging pendulum that swings forever? Galileo recognized that over time the pendulum would come to a stop due to air resistance, but under ideal circumstances the pendulum would continue to swing on forever. When sitting on a swing, the swing does. Because the motion is oscillatory (a fancy way to say back and. In the case of a pendulum, gravity is the force pulling the mass down, while inertia is the property keeping the mass in motion and pulling it back up. If you manage to eliminate all these effects then yes, the pendulum will oscillate forever. The equilibrium position of the pendulum is the position when the string and mass hang vertically downward. However you're just asking whether if all sources of energy. If there were no friction or drag (air resistance), a pendulum would keep on moving forever.
