You are bringing a spring pendulum (i.e. a mass attached to a spring) and a regular pendulum (think ball on a string) to the International Space Station. Because the ISS is in orbit around the Earth you (and everything else on board) experience apparent weightlessness. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is correct when you displace both pendulums from their respective equilibrium positions (ie try to make them oscillate): Group of answer choices The spring pendulum will oscillate....
