A pendulum bob executing simple harmonic motion has 2cm and 12Hz as amplitude and frequency respectively. Calculate the period of the motion

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude is extraneous information for this question.

Period (T) is simply a measure of time (how long it takes to complete a full cycle).

The frequency (f), is the reciprocal (how many cycles it can complete per unit of time).

The frequency reported is 12Hz.  Hz is a unit meaning "cycles per second"

Thus 12cycles = 1second.

To find the number of seconds per cycle, simply create the other unit fraction and simplify:

[tex]T=\frac{1second}{12cycles}\\T=0.8\bar{3}\frac{seconds}{cycle}\\[/tex]

[tex]T=0.83seconds[/tex]
