Question

TRUE OR FALSE

A simple pendulum suspended in a rocket ship has a period T0. Assume that the rocket ship is near the earth in a uniform gravitational field.

A) If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the new period will be: the square root of two times T0.
B) If the ship accelerates upward, the period increases.
C) If the mass of the pendulum doubles, the period increases.
D) If the ship moves upward with a constant velocity, the period increases.
E) If the ship accelerates downward at 9.81m/s2, the pendulum will no longer oscillate.

Explanation / Answer

a) TRUE

B) FALSE
