So in calculating this one its is really hard to explain how i get it on solve it but you must consider this factors that i give in getting the answer. First is the distance cover by the ball when it is hit by the club, Second is you must estimate both of those data when it is in the moon and in the earth whre the gravity of the earth is 9.8m/s^2 so by calculating the Gravity of the moon or gMoon is equal 1.74m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is 1.7 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

d_{moon} = 180 ~ m

d_{earth} = 32 ~ m

g_{earth} = 9.8 ~ m/s^2

<u>Unknown:</u>

g_{moon} = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

The motion of the golf ball is a parabolic motion, then we can use the following formula to calculate the horizontal displacement of the ball.

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}} }

Let's use this formula to find a comparison of the motion of golf ball on earth and on the moon.

d_{moon} : d_{earth} = \frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g_{moon}}} : \frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g_{earth}}}

d_{moon} : d_{earth} = \frac{1}{g_{moon}}} : \frac{1}{g_{earth}}}

d_{moon} : d_{earth} = g_{earth} : g_{moon}

180 : 32 = 9.8 : g_{moon}

g_{moon} = (32 \times 9.8) \div 180

\large {\boxed {g_{moon} = 1.7 ~ m/s^2} }

Answer:

<em>The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that describes periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass 'm' suspended by a thin inextensible string.

The period of a simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity.

If the length of the pendulum was increased to 9 times (L'=9L), the new period of oscillation will be:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{9L}{g}}

Taking out the square root of 9 (3):

T'=3*2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Substituting the original T:

T'=3*T

The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T

How would you go about measuring the speed of a vehicle? What measurements would you have to take? What calculations would you h
White raven [17]

Answer:

For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.
