An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 23.0 days on average to co
mplete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.060×105 km and the planet has a radius of 4.000×103 km, calculate the moon's radial acceleration a=_________m/s^2

Answer:
C) 1 s
Explanation:
The period of a mass-spring system is given by the formula:
where
m is the mass hanging on the spring
k is the spring constant
As we can see from the equation above, the period of the system does NOT depend on the initial amplitude of the oscillation. Therefore, even if the initial amplitude is changed from 5 cm to 10 cm, the period of the system will remain the same, 1 s.
