Question

What is the time period of a pendulum hanged in a satellite?
(T is time period of the pendulum on the earth)
(a) Zero (b) T
(c) T (d) Infinity
√6

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) Infinity

Explanation:

this is because time period is inversely proportional to root of the gravitational acceleration. In this case the gravitational acceleration is zero. anything divided by zero is equal to infinity.

Answer 2

Answer: Infinity

Explanation:

The time period of the satellites is the total time to complete one revolution in the orbit. We can determine the formula for the time period if we know the speed at which it orbits, i.e. the orbital speed and the radius of the orbit. We know the orbital velocity of the satellite and its formula is GMR+h

The time period of the simple pendulum in general is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{G/L}$

where L is the length of the pendulum.

Inside the satellite, g=0

So the period will be infinite, which means that there will be no oscillation.

The time period of a thing is the amount of time it takes for it to complete its single oscillation. Angular frequency is the angular displacement of any wave element per unit of time. The formula for time is: – T = 1/f where T is the period and f is the frequency. λ= c / f, where c is the wave speed (m/s) and f is the frequency (Hz).
