Question

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the nearest hundredth.​

Answer 1

0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 0.167, and that rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.17

Answer 2

Period = 6 seconds and
`frequency = 0.167Hz` .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of
`(1)/(t)` . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency =
`(1)/(t)`

⇒
`frequency = (1)/(time)`

⇒
`frequency = (1)/(6)`

⇒
`frequency = 0.167Hz`

Therefore , Period = 6 seconds and
`frequency = 0.167Hz` .
