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