On the planet Xenos, an astronaut observes that a 2.0 m long pendulum has a period of 2.2 s.
What is the free-fall acceleration on Xenos? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]g=16.31\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the pendulum, l = 2 m

The period of the pendulum, T = 2.2 s

The formula for the time period of a pendulum is given by :

[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]

or

[tex]T^2=4\pi ^2\dfrac{l}{g}\\\\g=\dfrac{4\pi ^2l}{T^2}\\\\g=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 2}{(2.2)^2}\\\\g=16.31\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the free fall acceleration is [tex]16.31\ m/s^2[/tex].
