A pendulum clock swings back and forth due to the force of gravity pulling the pendulum downward as it swings. The inertia of the swinging pendulum keeps it moving in a continuous motion, with the escapement mechanism regulating its timing to ensure accuracy.
Is law catalyst for starting the pendulum swinging? or is ethics? politics?
Obviously, it will stop after sometime , after swinging. It is because we cannot apply energy continuously to the swinging pendulum.
Examples of pendulum motion include a grandfather clock pendulum swinging back and forth, a playground swing moving back and forth, and a metronome ticking back and forth.
A pendulum has the most momentum at the lowest point of its swing, where it is moving fastest, due to the combined effect of its velocity and mass.
A clock pendulum swinging back and forth. A weight on a spring moving up and down.
Pendulum
Most pendulums are operated by a spring, when the spring looses its tention it can no longer keep the pendulum swinging. Others may work on a different system but the system in not perpetual and will loose its ability to keep the pendulum swinging. As a point of interest you canot use a pendulum in space.

The period or frequency of the pendulum
It is known as the Pendulum.
A falling rock. A cannonball in flight. A tetherball swinging around the pole. Anything that's moving.
