Anoncontinuous loop that prevents the flow of current is a(n) circuit?

The correct answer is an open circuit.

Explanation:

In an open circuit, the circuit is not closed as the battery is not connected to the circuit which forces the electrons to flow in the circuit. The rate of flow of current constitutes the current. In an open circuit, the current will not flow.

In the closed circuit,  the battery is connected to the circuit which forces the electrons to flow in the circuit. The rate of flow of current constitutes the current. In closed circuit, the current will flow. Here, the circuit is complete. Hence, it is a continuous loop.

Therefore, a non continuous loop that prevents the flow of current is an open circuit.

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.
