Hello! For ease of calculations, we can identify the time it took for the weight to bounce back to the other direction, then the other, and then back to its original position by looking at the time it took for the weight to change from 0 to 25 to 0 to -25 then back to 0. This is one whole cycle of the weight.
By the time the weight first reached zero, 1.5 seconds has passed. By the third time it got to zero again, 7.5 seconds has passed. Therefore, one whole cycle of the weight is 7.5-1.5 = 6.0 seconds.
ANSWER: One whole cycle of the weight took 6 seconds.
Y-b/m=x (you just move everything to the other side)
I think it means you have to find the area of both shapes and then compare them to see if Liam is correct if he is not correct say why. Hope this helps :)
