The time period of a simple pendulum on a freely moving artificial satellite is:
(A) infinite
(B) zero
(C) 2 sec
(D) 3 sec
Correct Answer: ✅ (A) infinite
Explanation:
In a freely moving artificial satellite, both the pendulum and the satellite experience free fall, resulting in zero effective gravity. Since the time period of a pendulum depends on gravity, the time period becomes infinite. Thus, the pendulum will not oscillate.
