A ball is attached to a string of length 3 m to make a pendulum. The pendulum is placed at a location that is away from the Earth's surface by three times the radius of the Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity (in m/s2) at that height and what is the period (in s) of the oscillations

1) 0.61 m/s^2

2) 13.9 s

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration that an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) would have.

It can be calculated using the equation:

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$ (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's center

The pendulum in the problem is at an altitude of 3 times the radius of the Earth (R), so its distance from the Earth's center is

r=4R

where

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ is the Earth's radius

Therefore, we can calculate the acceleration due to gravity at that height using eq.(1):

$g=\frac{GM}{(4R)^2}=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})0.}{(4\cdot 6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=0.61 m/s^2$

The period of a simple pendulum is the time the pendulum takes to complete one oscillation. It is given by the formula

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum

Note that the period of a pendulum does not depend on its mass.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have:

L = 3 m is its length

g=0.61 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (calculated in part 1)

Therefore, the period of the pendulum is:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{0.61}}=13.9 s$

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

$x(t)=ax(x-6)$

where $a$ is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at $t=3$ , and we know that

$x(3)=10\implies -9a=10\implies a=-\dfrac{10}9$

so that the position function is

$x(t)=-\dfrac{10}9x(x-6)$

which means the velocity is

$v(t)=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac{20}9x+\dfrac{60}9$

then the total distance traveled is

$\displaystyle\int_{t=0}^{t=6}|v(t)|\,\mathrm dt=\left\{\int_{t-0}^{t=3}-\int_{t=3}^{t=6}\right\}v(t)\,\mathrm dt=20$

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

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

because if the tool that you are using is not balanced it there would be false mass.
