Period of a simple pendulum = 2π √(L/G)

(360s/100) = 2π √(1.2m/G)

1.8s / π = √1.2m / √G

√G · (1.8s/π) = √1.2m

√G = (π · √1.2m) / 1.8s

Square each side:

G = π² · 1.2m / 3.24 s²

G = (1.2 · π² / 3.24)  m/s²

G = 3.66 m/s²

So I just went and looked up Mars gravity. Floogle says it's 3.711 m/s² there.
That seems awfully close ... only 1.4% greater than our astronauts measured.

An 8.00 kg mass moving east at 15.4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a 10.0 kg object that is initially at
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

9.3m/s

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision

m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2

m1 = 8kg

u1 = 15.4m/s

m2 = 10kg

u2 = 0m/s(at rest)

v1 = 3.9m/s

Required

v2.

Substitute

8(15.4)+10(0) = 8(3.9)+10v2

123.2=31.2+10v2

123.2-31.2 = 10v2

92 = 10v2

v2 = 92/10

v2 = 9.2m/s

Hence the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision is 9.2m/s

To balance a chemical equation we use______. <br> -coefficients <br> -subscripts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

  • Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
  • The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
  • <em><u>Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products. </u></em>

Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. ... Net force is also a vector quantity which has both mag
GuDViN [60]
When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.
