What equation will you use to calculate the acceleration of gravity in your experiment?
Added by Dashia C.
Step 1
First, we need to identify the forces acting on the object. In this case, the force is the weight of the object, which is the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (F = m*g). Show more…

What is acceleration due to gravity? What is its average value?
You are the first astronaut to land on Planet X. Unfortunately you packed light, so all you have available is a pendulum (a mass attached to a string), as well as a stopwatch and a ruler. Explain how you would measure the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X.
