An astronaut lands on an alien planet. He uses a pendulum (L =
1.5m) to produce simple harmonic motion, as shown in this
graph.
Answer the following questions showing all work!
a. What is the period and frequency of the pendulum’s motion?
(Time on the graph which is on the x axis is in seconds)
b. At what times will the pendulum be at its equilibrium
point?
c. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the...
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? See Diagram below: Show your work below:
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +18.9 m/s and measures a time of 16.1 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)

Prob 1 An astronaut lands on planet Suffrin of known radius R. She throws a rock to a height H directly above her hand (H < R), and she catches it after T seconds. (a) Find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Suffrin, in terms of H and T. Ans: (b) Find Suffrin's mass, Ms, in terms of H, T, R and the gravitational constant, G.
A) For the next scene, an astronaut travels to a moon of Planet W. She needs to measure the local gravity on the planet. She decides to use a 1.5 m long pendulum. She finds it takes her pendulum 6.09 seconds to complete one full oscillation. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this moon? a. 1.6 m/s2 b.2.1 m/s2 c. 2.3 m/s2 d.1.9 m/s2 B) For the next scene, an astronaut travels to a moon of Planet W....
What is the acceleration due to gravity on a planet where a 1.5 m long pendulum oscillates with the same period as a 0.8 kg mass vibrates on an 80 N/m spring?

Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the gravitational force on this planet so you devise an experiment. You throw a rock up in the air with an initial velocity of 9 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. If it takes 5.2 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it...
When a mass of .350kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 51.0cm. The mass is now displaced from its equilibrium position and undergoes a simple harmonic motion.
