A second's pendulum is mounted in a rocket. Its period of oscillation decreases when the rocket

A

moves around the earth in a geostationary orbit

B

moves down with uniform acceleration

C

moves up with uniform velocity

D

moves up with uniform acceleration

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`T=2pisqrt((L)/(g+a)) therefore T` is decreased.
