Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum oflength1.2 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion andmakes 100complete oscillations in 430 s. What is the magnitude oftheacceleration due to gravity on this planet?


Astronauts on our moon must function with an acceleration due to gravity of 0.17g.

  1. If the astronaut throws a certain wrench 13 m vertically upwards on earth, how high could he throw it on the moon if he gives the same initial speed at both places?
  2. How much longer would it be in motion (going up and coming down) on the moon than on earth?

 

 

Astronauts on our moon must function with an acceleration due to gravity of 0.165g .

Part A If an astronaut can throw a certain wrench 15.0 m vertically upward on earth, how high could he throw it on our moon if he gives it the same starting speed in both places?

Part B How much longer would it be in motion (going up and coming down) on the moon than on earth?
