Question

A ride at Six Flags has a frequency of 2.5 Hz. What is the ride's period?

Answer 1

Given:

The frequency of the ride, f=2.5 Hz

To find:

The period of the ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the inverse of the frequency of the wave. And the frequency of the wave is equal to its period.

Thus the period of the ride is given by,

`T=(1)/(f)`

On substituting the known values,

`\begin{gathered} T=(1)/(2.5) \\ =0.4\text{ s} \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

The period of the ride is 0.4 s
