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