Answer:
1) Hence, the period is 0.33 s.
2) The amplitude is 10 cm.
Explanation:
1) The period is given by:
Where:
f: is the frequency = 3 bob up and down each second = 3 s⁻¹ = 3 Hz
Hence, the period is 0.33 s.
2) The amplitude is the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum position traveled by the spring. Since the spring is moving up and down over a distance of 20 cm, then the amplitude is:
Therefore, the amplitude is 10 cm.

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.
EXPLANATION:
Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.
The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.
Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.
The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.
As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.
Hence, the correct options are first and second.
