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 ship moves upward with a constant velocity, the period increases. a. True. b. False. b. If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the new period will be: square root of 2 times T0. a. True.
b. False. c. If the mass of the pendulum doubles, the period increases. a. True.
b. False. d. If the ship accelerates downward at 9.81 m/s2, the pendulum will no longer oscillate. a. True.
b. False. e. If the ship accelerates upward, the period increases. a. True.
b. False.
