What is true about the acceleration due to gravity on the distant planet? a. The gravitational acceleration on the planet is slightly greater than g. b. The gravitational acceleration on the planet is slightly less than g. C. The gravitational acceleration on the planet is equal to g. d. We cannot tell because we do not know the mass of the pendulum.
