The earth's acceleration due to gravity varies from 9.780 m/s2at the equator to 9.832 m/s2 at the poles. A pendulum whose length is precisely 1.000 m can be used to measure g. Such a device is called a gravimeter.
How long do 100 oscillations take at the equator?
How long do 100 oscillations take at the north pole?

Astone is thrown with a speed v0 and returns to earth, as the drawing shows. ignore friction and air resistance, and consider the initial and final locations of the stone. which one of the following correctly describes the change δpe in the gravitational potential energy and the change δke in the kinetic energy of the stone as it moves from its initial to its final location? options a.δpe = 0 j and δke = 0 j b.δpe is positive and δke is negative c.δpe = 0 j and δke is positive d.δpe is negative and δke is positive e.δpe = 0 j and δke is negative
