1. A mass of 500g is used as a pendulum bob so that it forms a pendulum that is 2meters long. The pendulum is displaced from its rest position by an angle of 10 degrees.
A. How high is the pendulum bob above its original position?
B. What is the magnitude of the energy that the pendulum bob...
So Ta=1.4hours and Tb=6hours
What I got after doing the first part of the equation is 0.054
Now Ra and Rb are pretty much the radius of the Earth, and when I finished
that equation all I got on my calculator was 1E36.
...These numbers don't really seem like the height of the second...
1. Two satellites are orbiting around Earth. One satellite has a period of 1.4hours and
is 200km above Earths surface. The other satellite has a period of 6.0h. Use Kepler's laws
and the fact the radius of Earth is 6.37 x 10^6meters to determine the height of the second satellite above Earths...
