you can explore the concepts that are important in this problem. Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.20 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 450 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?
In Concept Simulation 10.2 you can explore the concepts that are important in this problem. Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.20 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 430 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?
Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.1 m and finds that it makes 500 complete oscillations in 1,121 s. What is the gravitational acceleration g on the surface of this planet?
The period of a simple pendulum in a grandfather clock on another planet is 1.80 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet if the length of the pendulum is 1.00 m.
An astronaut lands on an alien planet. He uses a pendulum (L =
1.5m) to produce simple harmonic motion, as shown in this
graph.
Answer the following questions showing all work!
a. What is the period and frequency of the pendulum’s motion?
(Time on the graph which is on the x axis is in seconds)
b. At what times will the pendulum be at its equilibrium
point?
c. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the...
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +18.9 m/s and measures a time of 16.1 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +17.9 m/s and measures a time of 22.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)
The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader-a physicist, naturally-immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.44 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 107 complete cycles of oscillation during 2.00 x 10 s. What...
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? See Diagram below: Show your work below:
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.)
