The period of a pendulum is given by where L is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational acceleration.
We can write down the ratio between the period of the pendulum on the Moon and on Earth by using this formula, and we find: where the labels m and e refer to "Moon" and "Earth".
Since the gravitational acceleration on Earth is while on the Moon is , the ratio between the period on the Moon and on Earth is
The frictional force between two bodies depends mainly on three factors: (I) the adhesion between body surfaces (ii) roughness of the surface (iii) deformation of bodies
Oracio is the most cost-effective choice because he would cost the least to complete the project. However, he would also take the longest amount of time. Camilla could complete the job the fastest, but she costs more than Oracio. SciTech will have to decide if it is more important to save money or complete the work quickly to meet the deadline.
