Question

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. 1. (T/F) If the ship accelerates upward, the period increases. 2. (T/F) If the ship accelerates downward at 9.81 m/s2, the pendulum will no longer oscillate 3. (T/F) If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the new period will be: square root of 2 times T0. 4. (T/F) If the mass of the pendulum doubles, the period increases. 5. (T/F) If the ship moves upward with a constant velocity, the period increases. Explain your answer

Explanation / Answer

True

The 'g' in the formula for period of a simple pendulum is the NET acceleration field. If the rocket accelerates downward at 9.81 m/s
