6 of 6SHM-12.You take your grandfather clock (a pendulum clock) to the Moon. On the Moon, does the clockkeep good time, or run slow or fast?A) keeps good time B) runs slow C) runs fastAnswer: runs slowSHM-13. The force on a pendulum mass along the direction of motion is mgsin.For small , mgsinmg, and the period is independentof amplitude. For larger amplitude motion, the periodA: increasesB: decreasesC: remains constantHint: does sin get bigger or smaller than as increases.mgsinmgAnswer: For larger amplitude motion, the period increases
