A simple pendulum make 20oscillations in 40 secondsWhat is the time period and frequency of itsoscillation​

Answer»

ANSWER:

TIME Period = 2 seconds

FREQUENCY = 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

Time Period : Time taken to complete one oscillation by the pendulum is called time period.

Time take to complete 20 oscillations by the pendulum = 40 seconds

Time take to complete 1 oscillation by the pendulum = \frac{40}{20} seconds

Time take to complete 1 oscillation by the pendulum = 2 seconds

Therefore the Time Period of the pendulum is 2 seconds.

__________________________________________________________

Frequency :  It is the NUMBER of oscillations made by the body in one second.

Frequency = (\frac{1}{Time \:Period})

                 = (\frac{1}{2})

                 = 0.5 Hz

Therefore,

The frequency of the pendulum is 0.5 Hz.
