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 1.18 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 103 complete cycles of oscillation during 217 s. What is the result?
A mass of 0.69 kg is is initially traveling at 6.19 m/s across a horizontal, frictionless surface. It then reaches a spring with a fixed end having a spring constant of 334 N/m that is positioned horizontally and initially at equilibrium. The incoming mass will then contact the spring, compressing it as it comes to rest. What is the speed of the mass upon the spring being compressed by 0.173 m from its equilibrium position?
When a pendulum with a period of 2.00000 s in one location (g = 9.80 m/s2) is moved to a new location from one where the period is now 1.99747 s. What is the change in acceleration (in m/s2) due to gravity at its new location?
A clock is constructed so that it keeps perfect time when its simple pendulum has a period of exactly 1.000 s.
