Question

When a simple pendulum is taken to the moon from the earth, its time period

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains the same
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Increases

The time period is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull or 'g.' When a simple pendulum is taken to the moon from the earth, its pull decreases, which will lead to an increase in the time period. The value of 'g' on the moon is 1/6 of what it is on the Earth's surface.
