Question 242012PhysicsWAEC

A simple pendulum makes 50 oscillations in one minute. Determine its period of oscillation.

A

0.04 s

B

0.83 s

C

1.20 s

D

50.00 s

Step-by-Step Explanation

The period of oscillation is the time taken for one complete cycle of motion. To find the period, divide the total time for the oscillations by the number of oscillations; in this case, 60 seconds divided by 50 oscillations gives a period of 1.20 seconds. This indicates that each complete swing of the pendulum takes 1.20 seconds to occur.
