Alarge pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the united nations building. the pendulum has a length of 75 ft. it is used to show the rotation of the earth—for this reason it is referred to as a foucault pendulum. part a) if the pendulum were to be taken to the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is g/6, would the period increase, decrease, or stay the same?

part b) check your result in part a by calculating the period of the pendulum on the moon.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
