During our demonstrations to Autodesk Maya, we were required to produce short and simple animation of a pendulum. We were guided through-out the stages of creating this animation. We used such tools as The Graph Editor and Animation Curves. I used tangents to give an illusion that the lower part of the pendulum has weight to it, I edited the curves on the graph editor and broke the lower tangents to get that effect of acceleration and deceleration. The animation is not perfect as it was just a learning process, the video of the animation is below.
Here's an example of a much more advanced animated pendulum I found on You-Tube.
