The frequency is how many per second:
(6 swings)/(30 sec) = (6/30) swing/sec = 0.2 per sec = 0.2 Hz .
The period is how long each one takes, or seconds per swing.
It's exactly the flip of frequency.
So we could just take the frequency, flip it, and find 1 / 0.2 ,
but let's do it the long way:
(30 sec) / (6 swings) = (30/6) sec/swing = 5 seconds .
The transit method requires watching the light output of a star over long periods of time. A transit occurs when the planet crosses in front of its star from earths point of view. Since there is a small object (the planet) now blocking some of the star, it appears to dim a little bit for a while until the planet passes. If we are in a position where that occurs regularly (most paths of planets do not happen to be on the line of sight between earth and their star) we can deduce the period of orbit. From the amount of dimming and the period you can estimate the mass
Answer:
7/150
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Object distance (u) = 75cm
Image distance (v) = 3.5cm
Magnification (M) =..?
Magnification is simply defined as:
Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)
M = v /u
With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:
M = v/u
M = 3.5/75
M = 7/150
Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.
