The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun

d to be 1.18s. If the acceleration due to gravity at sea level is 9.790m/s2, what is the acceleration due to gravity at the mountain top?

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}         (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.
MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.
