Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.20 m. the pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 450 s. what is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?

Magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 2.34 m/s²

Explanation:

Time period of simple pendulum is given by

         , l is the length of pendulum, g is acceleration due to gravity value.

We can solve acceleration due to gravity as

Here

  Length of pendulum = 1.20 m

  Pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 450 s.

  Period,

Substituting

Magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 2.34 m/s²

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
