Question

Period measures the time taken for a complete cycle of repetitive motion (oscillation/vibration). a. A swinging pendulum takes an average of 10.3 seconds to complete 10 cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?

Answer 1

0.97second

Step-by-step explanation:

Period and defined time taken by wave to complete one oscillation or vibration

If a swinging pendulum takes an average of 10.3 seconds to complete 10 cycles i.e 10.3seconds = 10cycles

Therefore it will take the swinging pendulum (1×10/10.3) second to complete a cycle/oscillation

The period of the

swinging pendulum will therefore be 0.97 second.
