± Gravity on Another Planet

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm. The explorer finds that the pendulum completes 90.0 full swing cycles in a time of 142 s.

Part A

What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on this planet?

g planet = 

Properties of Ocean Waves

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.10 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.620 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.90 m apart.

Part A

How fast are the waves traveling?

v= 

Part B

What is the amplitude A of each wave?

A=
