Planets in our solar system do not revolve around the sun in perfect circles. Their orbits are more like ovals that scientists describe as elliptical. It is one of Kepler's laws. The sun is the focus of all the planets. The correct answer is D.
The acceleration due to gravity (g) on this planet is 39.44 m/s²
<h3>What is solar system?</h3>
Solar system consists of all the planets and the most importantly the center of the solar system is Sun.
Given is an unknown planet in the outer-reaches of the solar system, a pendulum with a 12 g bob and a string length of 4 m oscillates with a period of 2 seconds.
The time period of the pendulum is
T = 2π √l/g
Squaring both sides, we get
l/g = T² / 4π²
g = 4π²l/ T²
Substitute Time period T = 2s and length l = 4m, we get
g = 4π²x 4/ 2²
g =39.44 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 39.44 m/s²
