T = 2*pi sqrt(l/g)

Rearranging it

l = T^2 * g / 4 (pi)^2

T = 2sec, g = 1.6

so

l = .16m on the surface of moon

If i had a pendulum clock a meter stick and a stopwatch could I find the acceleration of gravity on the moon?

The time it takes a pendulum to complete a full swing is given by the formula: T = 2 pi sqrt(L/g) where L is the length of the pendulum, and g is acceleration due to gravity. With a little algebra we can rearrange this to get: g = (2 pi / T)^2 L So measure the length of your pendulum to get L, then measure how long it takes for a complete swing, plug it into the formula, and there's your acceleration due to gravity. You can try it here on Earth and see what you get.


Does a clock work accurately on the moon?

A clock would work accurately on the moon as long as it's designed to account for the different gravitational conditions. The lack of atmosphere and lower gravity on the moon may cause slight variations, but a specially designed clock would be able to accurately keep time.


How will simple pendulum behave if its taken to moon?

A simple pendulum on the Moon would swing more slowly due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth. However, the motion would still follow the same principles of a simple harmonic oscillator, with the period of oscillation proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum.


What is the length of on day on the moon?

The length of a "day" on the moon is 29 Earth days.


The length of daylight on the moon is about?

The length of daylight on the moon is about two weeks, followed by an equal period of darkness due to the moon's rotation synchronizing with its orbit around the Earth.

The lenth of second's pendulum of the earth is about 1 m What should be the length of second's pendulum on the moon?

If the length of the second pendulum of the earth is about 1 meter, the length of the second pendulum should be between 0.3 and 0.5 meters.


Time period of simple pendulum is three seconds the same pendulum taken at the moon - what will be its new time period?

This pendulum, which is 2.24m in length, would have a period of 7.36 seconds on the moon.


What is the difference in period for a pendulum on earth and a pendulum on moon?

The period of a simple pendulum swinging at a small angle is approximately 2*pi*Sqrt(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum, and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6 of Earth's gravity, the period of a pendulum on the moon with the same length will be approximately 2.45 times of the same pendulum on the Earth (that's square root of 6).


What is the time period of a pendulum on moon?

... dependent on the length of the pendulum. ... longer than the period of the same pendulum on Earth. Both of these are correct ways of finishing that sentence.


A pendulum has a period on the earth of 1.35 s What is its period on the surface of the moon where g equals 1.62 meters per second squared?

The period of a pendulum is given by T = 2π√(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Since the pendulum's length and mass do not change, its period on the moon would be T = 2π√(L/1.62), assuming the pendulum is the same length. Solving for T gives 2.56 seconds.


What would be the period of a1.0 m length pendulum if it were oscillating on the moon?

The period of a pendulum is given by T = 2π√(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 1.625 m/s^2, so the period of a 1.0 m length pendulum would be T = 2π√(1.0/1.625) ≈ 3.58 seconds.


What is the length of a pendulum whose period on the moon matches the period of a 1.94-m-long pendulum on the earth?

Nice problem! I get 32.1 centimeters.


Can you use simple pendulum in moon?

Yes. The period of the pendulum (the time it takes it swing back and forth once) depends on the length of the pendulum, and also on how strong gravity is. The moon is much smaller and less massive than the earth, and as a result, gravity is considerably weaker. This would make the period of a pendulum longer on the moon than the period of the same pendulum would be on earth.


What is the length of a pendulum with a period of 1.49 s?

How to find the length of a pendulum?

The length of a pendulum can be found by measuring the distance from the point of suspension to the center of mass of the pendulum bob. This distance is known as the length of the pendulum.


How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?

The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.


How does the period of a pendulum change for length?

The period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. As the length of a pendulum increases, its period increases. Conversely, if the length of a pendulum decreases, its period decreases.
