Question

A pendulum oscillates 25 times in 5 seconds calculate itrs time period and frequency​

Answer 1

I. Time period = 0.2 seconds.

II. Frequency = 5 Hertz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Time, t = 5 seconds.

Number of oscillation, n = 25 times

I. To find the time period;

`Time \; period = \frac {time}{number \; of \; oscillations}`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Time \; period = \frac {5}{25}`

Time period = 0.2 seconds.

II. To find frequency;

`Frequency = \frac {1}{Time \; period}`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Frequency = \frac {1}{0.2}`

Frequency = 5 Hertz.

Therefore, the time period and frequency of the pendulum is 0.2 seconds and 5 Hertz respectively.
