The average energy in one time period in simple harmonic motion is

A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on the earth is taken to the moon. It will run

A wall clock uses a vertical spring-mass system to measure the time. Each time the mass reaches an extreme position, the clock advances by a second. The clock gives correct time at the equator. If the clock is taken to the poles it will
