On the Moon, the acceleration of gravity is g/6. If a pendulum has a period T on Earth, what will its period be on the Moon?
A) T $\sqrt { 6 }$
B) T/ $\sqrt { 6 }$
C) T/6
D) 6T
E) T/3

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The period of a pendulum is proportional to the square root of the inverse of the gravitational acceleration. Since gravity on the Moon is g/6, the period becomes T multiplied by the square root of 6.

On the Moon, the Acceleration of Gravity Is G/6 6\sqrt { 6 }6​

On the Moon, the Acceleration of Gravity Is G/6 $\sqrt { 6 }$
