Question 52014PhysicsWAEC

The period of a simple pendulum X is 5 s. What is the period of a simple pendulum Y which makes 50 vibrations in the same time it takes X to make 20 vibrations?

A

12.5s

B

2.5s

C

2.0s

D

1.2s

Step-by-Step Explanation

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes to complete one full vibration. If pendulum X has a period of 5 seconds for 20 vibrations, it takes 100 seconds in total. Since pendulum Y makes 50 vibrations in the same 100 seconds, its period is 100 seconds divided by 50, resulting in a period of 2 seconds.
