Question

For the simple harmonic motion equation d=2 sin(pi/3 t), what is the frequency? If necessary, use the slash (/) to denote a fraction.

Answer 1

The frequency is f = 1/T = 1/2 Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency of a simple harmonic motion equation can be found by taking the inverse of the period. The period of a simple harmonic motion equation is the time it takes for the motion to repeat itself. In the equation d=2 sin(pi/3 t), the period is T = 2*(pi/3)/(pi/3) = 2 seconds. Therefore, the frequency is f = 1/T = 1/2 Hz.

Answer 2

Answer:1/6
