Answer:
a. Amplitude = 0.244 meters
b. Period = 1.62 seconds
c. Frequency = 0.6173 Hz
Explanation:
a.
With the position goes from 0.122 meters to -0.122 meters (negative because it is in the opposite side of the equilibrium point), the amplitude is the maximum value minus the minimum value:
Amplitude = 0.122 - (-0.122) = 0.122 + 0.122 = 0.244 meters
b.
The period is the amount of time the object takes to arrive in the same position again. So, if it takes 0.81 seconds to go to -0.122 m, it will take another 0.81 seconds to come back to 0.122 m, so the period is the sum of these two times:
Period = 0.81 + 0.81 + 1.62 seconds
c.
The frequency of the movement is the inverse of the period:
Frequency = 1 / Period
So if the period is 1.62 seconds, the frequency is:
Frequency = 1 / 1.62 = 0.6173 Hertz
