i have a question:
if i changed the mass of the ball on the pendulum, i assume that Changing the mass of the ball would not change the period of the pendulum because gravity pulls objects towards Earth at the same speed regardless of their mass.
however
Newton's second law says that the more mass, the slower the acceleration:
which means that changing the mass of the ball on the pendulum will change the period of the pendulum.
please tell me which explanation is correct:
