- A pendulum has a period of 5.8 s. If you were to transfer this pendulum to the surface of Mars (where g is 3.71 meters per second squared), what would the period (in seconds) be?arrow_forwardA hole is drilled through the center of the earth. The gravitational force on a mass in that hole is mgr/R, where r is the distance of the mass from the earth’s center and R is the radius of the earth (6.4 x 10 6m).A mass dropped into the hole executes simple harmonic motion. Find the period of the motion. How does one-half this time compare with the time needed to fly in an air-’ plane halfway around the earth?arrow_forwardThis time the pendulum is 1.37 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.12 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? 7.0 degrees 29.9 degrees 23.8 degrees 17.6 degreesarrow_forward
- A scientist wishes to determine the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the planet Nos'Kere by experimenting with a pendulum.

What is the period of the object ting as a pendulum? Express your answer a number of seconds, omitting the unit.arrow_forwardAstronauts in space cannot weigh themselves by standing on a bathroom scale. Instead, they determine their mass by oscillating on a large spring. Suppose an astronaut attaches one end of a large spring to her belt and the other end to a hook on the wall of the space capsule. A fellow astronaut then pulls her away from the wall and releases her. The spring's length as a function of time is shown in the figure (Figure 1).
