A simple pendulum suspended in a rocket ship has a period T0.Assume that the rocket ship is near the earth in a uniformgravitational field.

If the ship accelerates downward at 9.81 m/s2, the pendulumwill no longer oscillate.

If the length of the pendulum is doubled, the new period willbe: square root of 2 times T0.

If the ship moves upward with a constant velocity, the periodincreases.

If the ship accelerates upward, the period increases.
If the mass of the pendulum doubles, the period
increases.

* true or false answers only
T0= t knot
