Question

Can simple pendulum be used in an artificial satellite?Give reasons.

Answer 1

A simple pendulum cannot be used in an artificial satellite because:

In an artificial satellite acceleration due to gravity is zero so the pendulum will not vibrate inside it.

A simple pendulum consists of a light string tied to a pivot point. A mass is attached to its other end. The pendulum moves due to gravity. The period of time in which the pendulum makes one full back-and-forth swing is known as the period of a pendulum. 

Pendulums are often used in clocks because they take the same amount of time to swing in both the directions.

Answer 2

Answer:

no

Explanation:

the gravitational force of Earth is zero in artificial satelite so the pendulum will not vibrate inside
