Question

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 mass of the pendulum is halved, the period decreases.
True False  If the ship moves upward with a constant velocity, the period decreases.
True False  If the ship accelerates downward at 9.81 m/s², the pendulum will no longer oscillate.
True False  If the ship accelerates upward, the period increases.
