A grandfather clock (with a pendulum) keeps perfect time on Earth. If you were to transport this clock to the Moon, would its period of oscillation increase, decrease, or stay the same? Would its frequency of oscillation increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

a) Therefore the period of oscillation in the moon will increase.

b) The frequency in the moon will decrease

Explanation:

The period of the pendulum is given by this equation:

(1)

As we can see, T is proportional to L and inversely proportional to the gravity vector. We know that g in the earth is grader than g in the moon.

(2)

Therefore the period of oscillation in the moon will increase.

(3)              

Now, the frequency of oscillation is:

In this case, ω is proportional to g, then using (1) we can conclude that:

Therefore the frequency in the moon will decrease.

Aquifers both hold water and allow it to pass through.

Explanation:

An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move. Aquifers must be both permeable and porous and include such rock types as sandstone, conglomerate, fractured limestone and unconsolidated sand and gravel.
