Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

complete oscillations in 1090 s. the amplitude of the oscillations is very small compared to the pendulum's length. what is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of this planet? answer in units of m/s 2 .

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L =  \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2

Eating eggs for breakfast increases grades. What is the constant?
Feliz [49]

Answer and Explanation:

The answer would be: <u>Breakfast</u>

<u></u>

Breakfast would be the constant of this scenario because this doesn't change. The time of day (for eating eggs) will always be in the morning, so that wouldn't change.

Eating eggs would be the independent variable because you can change this value. This could be a different food or an amount of the food that is being eaten.

The grades would be the dependent variable because the score <em>depends</em> on the eating of eggs.

The solar mass of the Sun is 1. The orbital period of Jupiter is 11. 9 Earth years. What is the distance between Jupiter and the
cestrela7 [59]

The distance between Jupiter and the sun is 5.2 AU.

According to Kepler's third law, the square of the period of revolution of planets is proportional to the cube of their mean distances from the sun. From this; T^2 = r^3.

Now, we are told that the orbital period (T) is 11. 9 Earth years. We have to make the distance the subject of the formula.

r =T^2/3

r = (11.9)^2/3

r = 5.2 AU
