A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building.

The pendulum has a length of 75 ft. It is used to show the rotation of the Earth—for this reason it is referred to as a Foucault pendulum.Part A) If the pendulum were to be taken to the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is g/6, would the period increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Part B) Check your result in part A by calculating the period of the pendulum on the Moon.

Answer:

9.59143 s

23.4941 s

Explanation:

L = Length of pendulum = 75 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time period is given by

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

On Earth

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=9.59143\ s

The time period on Earth is 9.59143 s

On Moon

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{\dfrac{9.81}{6}}}\\\Rightarrow T=23.4941\ s

The time period on Moon is 23.4941 s

Why does the solar system consist of small planets orbiting close to sun and larger on more distant
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system,  the  inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun.  The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.  The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an  asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets.  If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking.  The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.
