- A simple pendulum of length 3.14 m makes 15.0 complete swings in94.2 s on a spaceship. What is the acceleration of gravity at the locationof the pendulum?arrow_forwardTces V Hint Chec The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader-a physicist, naturally-immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.41 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 109 complete cycles of oscillation during 218 s. What is the result? acceleration due to gravity: m/s2 about us privacy policy terms of use contact us help careers 5:36 P 11/19/2arrow_forward13) A spaceship captain lands on an unknown pl anet. 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.

- In 2004 a massive 10-30m high tsunami was created in the eastern Indian Ocean by anearthquake in Sumatra resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. The coast of Africa lies7000km to the west of Sumatra. Knowing that tsunami’s propagate at a speed v = √gH, how longdid it take for the tsunami to strike Africa?arrow_forwardYou Rev your car's engine to 3300 rpm. What are the period and frequency of the engine? If you change the period of thr engine to 0.033s, how many rpms is it doing?arrow_forward1.

- A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.arrow_forwardTwo identical clocks are in the same house, one upstairs in a bedroom and the other downstairs in kitchen. Which clock runs slower? Explain.arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Why not use the simpler expression U=mg(y2y1) ? How significant would the error be?
