can someone explain what this question is asking..please and thank you!     @Physics

anonymous · Answer

The original pendulum is taken to the moon and
released from rest at a position 0.25 meter above its
lowest point. Compared to the period of the pendulum
on Earth, the period of the pendulum on the
moon is (1) shorter (2) longer (3) the same

anonymous · Answer

the original pendulum was 0.65-meter-long simple pendulum consists of a
1.0-kilogram massat the end of a string. The pendulum
is released from rest at position A,o.25 meter above its
lowest point.

Remember our equation:$$ T=2\pi \sqrt{l \over g}$$If we take this pendulum to the moon which of these variables changes?

anonymous · Answer

the g right..?

turingtest · Answer

right, does it's value go up or down when we take it to the moon?

anonymous · Answer

down b.c i think it is 1.62 m/s^2 (not sure)

turingtest · Answer

I have no idea what gravity is on the moon, but the point is that it goes down. So if g goes down, what happens to T?

anonymous · Answer

increases

Bingo! a medal for you :)

anonymous · Answer

thnx lol

turingtest · Answer

note that if g=0 (like in outer space) then T=infinity
which makes sense because a pendulum would not swing without grabity, it would just float there. Cool huh? and they say science is boring... psh...

anonymous · Answer

lmao its cuz they dont know anything about it lol

anonymous · Answer

wat is the answer? longer?
