Acceleration due to gravity?
Not sure how to solve this, help would be greatly appreciated!
When a pendulum with a period of 2.00000 s is moved to a new location from one where the acceleration due to gravity was 9.80 m/s2, its new period becomes 1.99734 s. By how much does the acceleration due to gravity differ at its new location?

2 AnswersPhysics4 months agoFinding an angle?
Mary is an avid game show fan and one of the contestants on a popular game show. She spins the wheel, and after 5.5 revolutions, the wheel comes to rest on a space that has a $1500 value prize. If the initial angular speed of the wheel is 4.05 rad/s, find the angle through which the wheel has turned when the angular speed reaches 2.20 rad/s.
I keep getting 24.36 as my answer but apparently it's not right.
