A pendulum takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle.

What are the pendulum’s period and frequency?

Asked by Matsumura934

Answer (3)

Period: Time it takes to complete a cycle, it takes 0.5s to complete a cycle Frequency: Number of cycles in a second. Since 0.5s = 1 cycle, 1s=2 cycles Period is 0.5s, frequency is 2

If a pendulum takes 0.5 second to complete one cycle, then its period (T) is 0.5 seconds. The period is the time it takes for one complete cycle. The frequency (f) is the number of cycles a pendulum completes in one second and is calculated as the inverse of the period. Hence, the frequency of this pendulum would be 1/T = 1/0.5 s = 2 Hz, meaning it completes 2 cycles per second.

The pendulum has a period of 0.5 seconds and a frequency of 2 Hz. The period indicates the time for one complete cycle, while the frequency represents how many cycles occur in one second.
