Pendulum on planet with g' = 4g. Period becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Pendulum on planet with g' = 4g. Period becomes:
A. Double
B. Same
C. Half
D. Four times
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
T ∝ 1/√g. If g' = 4g, T' = T/√4 = T/2. Higher gravity ⇒ faster oscillations. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ 1/√g; 4× gravity ⇒ half period'. Oscillations proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
A 10 kg object is lifted to 5 m and then allowed to fall. Kinetic energy just before hitting ground (g=10) is
A. 1000 J
B. 250 J
C. 500 J
D. 0 J

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
PE at top = mgh = 10×10×5 = 500 J, converted to KE = 500 J (assuming no air resistance).
