A spaceship captain lands on an unknown planet. Before venturing forth, he needs to find out the acceleration due to gravity on

that planet. All he has available to him is some thin light string, a stopwatch, and a small 2.75-kg metal ball (it was a rough landing). So he lets the ball swing from a 1.5-m length of the string, starting at rest, and measures that it takes 1.9 s for it to swing from the place where he released it to the place where it first stops as it reverses direction. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet

Answer:

g = 4,10 m/s

Explanation:

Este es un ejercicio de péndulo simple, donde la velocidad angular esta dada por

          w = \sqrt{ \frac{g}{L} }

la velocidad angular esta relacionada con el periodo

         w =2π/T

sustituimos

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

         T² = 4\pi ^2  \frac{ L}{g}

          g = 4\pi ^2 \ \frac{L}{T^2}

el periodo es el tiempo de una oscilación completa, osea desde el punto donde se suelta hasta que regresa al mismo punto, en este caso tenemos medio periodo, desde donde se suelta hasta donde se detiene

       T/2 = 1,9

       T = 2  1,9

       T = 3,8 s  

calculemos

        g = 4π²  1,5 /3,8²

        g = 4,10 m/s

What two things keeps the planets, asteroids, comets and moons in orbit?
gregori [183]
Answer:

The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun's gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.

IF EARTH HAD NO ATMOSPHERE, WOULD A FALLING OBJECT EVER REACH TERMIONAL VELOCITY?
EleoNora [17]
No.  What most people call 'terminal velocity' is the speed of the falling
object when the downward force of gravity is equal to the upward force
of air resistance.  At that speed, the vertical forces on the object are
balanced, so it stops accelerating, and falls at a constant speed.

If there were no atmosphere, there would be no upward force due to
air resistance.  The falling object would continue to accelerate all the
way down until it went 'splat'.

This is exactly the situation for meteoroids or asteroids falling onto the Moon.
