Answer:

The frequency of the spring = 5 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The period = 0.2 seconds

The relationship between frequency and period is:

$\text{Frequency = }\frac{1}{\text{Period}}$

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Frequency}=(1)/(0.2) \\ \text{Frequency=5 Hertz} \end{gathered}$

The frequency of the spring = 5 Hz
