The mass of a planet of known size can be determined using a simple pendulum. If future astronauts were to land on a planet with a diameter of 2.5 x 10^6 m and find that a 0.50 m long pendulum completes 5 oscillations in 14.6 seconds, what is the mass of the planet? (The answer is 5.4 x 10^22 kg. Please show work.)

You crash land your spaceship on a mysterious planet. You want to figure out g, the acceleration due to gravity, on the surface of the planet. Fortunately, you brought a stopwatch and simple pendulum: a 75.0 centimeter long string tied to a 1.50 kg mass. You measure the period of the pendulum to be 1.52 seconds. What is the value of g, in units of m/s2? Assume there is no air resistance as the pendulum swings.

The position of the motion of the bob in a simple pendulum in radians is given by 0(t)-3cos What is the amplitude, frequency, and period of the motion? 3.A man enters a tall tower needing to know its height. He notes that a long pendulum extends from the ceiling almost to the floor, and its period is 12 s. How tall is the tower? Two playground swings start out together. After 5 complete oscillations, the swings are out of...
An astronaut lands on an alien planet. He uses a pendulum (L =
1.5m) to produce simple harmonic motion, as shown in this
graph.

Step 13: Let's find out the gravity on an unknown planet. Go back to the simulation, set the length of the pendulum equal to 1.0 m and mass of the bob equal to 0.1 kg. Select "Planet X" from the drop-down menu under Gravity. Measure the time period for the pendulum on Planet X. Record it below (for 10 oscillations) T Planet x = 16.995 Use this time period to find the gravity on Planet X. Show all your work...

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass
disk of radius 37 cm and mass 1.6 kg that is attached to a long,
thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an
axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod
opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its
period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational
acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.
(a) What should the length...
An astronaut has a pendulum made of 1.00 m long string and attached mass, which they let oscillate on Earth. They take their pendulum to an unknown planet with radius 71.5 x 10^3 km where the period of oscillation is 1.59 times shorter. a) What is the frequency and period of oscillation of the pendulum on Earth? b) What is the frequency and period of oscillation of the pendulum on unknown planet? c) What is the gravitational acceleration of the...
Part A A simple pendulum consists of a weight with mass 2.5 kg suspended from a 0.45 m long wire.
