why does a pendulum have periodic motion?

Athe pendulum has a spring constant
Bthe pendulum obeys Hooke's Law
Cthe spring pulls on the pendulum
Dgravity acts on the pendulum

Verified Answer :

A, B, and C are all incorrect because they are talking about springs. I'm assuming you're talking about a 2 dimensional, side to side pendulum. In that case, the answer is D because as the pendulum goes up from one side, gravity accelerates it downward until it swings to the other side. If you're not talking about this type of pendulum, leave a comment and ill come back.
