A mass-spring system has a period of 4.0 seconds. What is the frequency of oscillation?
A.A) 0.25 Hz
B.D) 4.0 Hz
C.B) 0.5 Hz
D.C) 2.0 Hz
Explanation
Core Concept
Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of period (T): f = 1/T. Given T = 4.0 s, f = 1/4.0 = 0.25 Hz. This means the system completes 0.25 oscillations per second.
Correct Answer
AA) 0.25 Hz
