You want to describe the harmonic motion of a swing. You find out that it take 2 seconds for the swing to complete one cycle. The swing passes through 48 degrees as it goes from high point-to-high point in its motion (passing through a center).

a. What is the period of the swing?

b. What is the frequency of the swing in hertz?

c. What is the amplitude of the swing?

Answer:

If it takes the swing 2 seconds to complete one cycle, then

that's the period of its motion ... 2 seconds.

The frequency is the reciprocal of the period ... 1/2 Hz.

('Hz' means 'per second'.)

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps
