a student standing in an elevator at rest notices that her pendulum has a frequency of oscillation of 0.5 Hz. a. what is the length of the pendulum's string? b. the elevator starts to accelerate upwards. what effect will this have on the oscillation? explain.

Question

a student standing in an elevator at rest notices that her pendulum has a frequency of oscillation of 0.5 Hz. a. what is the length of the pendulum's string? b. the elevator starts to accelerate upwards. what effect will this have on the oscillation? explain.

Is this correct.
T=1/f
T=1/(0.5)
T= 2 s
T=2pisqrt(L/g)
2s=2pisqrt(L/9.8)
L=0.99 m
Is the answer for b this.
If the elevator accelerates upwards, then the apparent gravity will increase and the oscillation will be faster.

Answer 1

Yes

Yes, g bigger , T lower, f higher
