Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a pendulum can vibrate in an artificial satellite, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Environment Inside a Satellite**: - An artificial satellite orbits the Earth in a state of free fall. Inside the satellite, everything, including the pendulum, experiences weightlessness due to the gravitational pull being countered by the satellite's orbital motion. 2. **Gravity Inside the Satellite**: ...
