A pendulum consisting of a sphere suspended from a light string is oscillating with a small angle with respect to the vertical. The sphere is then replaced with a new sphere of the same size but greater density and is set into oscillation with the same angle. How do the period and maximum acceleration of the new pendulum compare to those of the original? Period Acceleration a. Larger Smaller b. Smaller Larger C. The same The same d. The same Smaller

A pendulum consisting of a sphere suspended from a light string is oscillating with a small angle with respect to the vertical. The sphere is then replaced with a new sphere of the same size but greater density and is set into oscillation with the same angle. Period remains the same, Max KE increases, Max acceleration is the same.
