A mass oscillates on the end of a spring with a period of 4.0 seconds. What is the frequency of the oscillator?
This sounds like a homework question, so rather than doing your homework for you, I'll explain how to find the answer for yourself.The period and the frequency are very easy to find from the information provided. First, remember the definitions of period and frequency:Period is the amount of time per oscillation.Frequency is the number of oscillations per unit time.When you see the word "per" in these definitions, you should think division, because that is how you find the answer. When we say period is time per oscillation, this means time divided by oscillations. So your period is obtained by dividing the amount of time (in seconds) by the number of oscillations in that time. The units will make sense this way too: time divided by oscillations will give you a number that means seconds PER oscillation, which is what period is!Similarly, frequency is oscillations per time, so take the number of oscillations and divide it by the number of seconds it took. Your units will be oscillations per second, which makes sense for a measure of frequency.
What is the frequency vibration if the mass at the end of a spring makes one vibration in 2 seconds?
frequency = 1 / period f = 1/2 = 0.5 Hertz
Relation between simple harmonic motion uniform circular motion?
Period and frequency are inverses of each other. Period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave, and frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that take place in a unit of time. Period is equal to one over the frequency, and frequency is equal to one over the period.
Why is it that the more mass added to the end of a suspended spring the greater the time period?
A spring stretches because the coiled spring stores potential energy. This energy is released as the spring is stretched and returns to its original shape. Over a period of time, the spring becomes worn and loses the potential energy.
Does the spring in a flashlight complete the circuit or does it convert electrical energy into light energy?
A flashlight's spring is just to ensure a good electrical contact at both ends of the battery.
A weight on the end of a spring bobs up and down one complete cycle every 2 seconds its period is?
We clearly heard you say "one complete cycle every 2 seconds". That means that the period is 2 seconds. No calculation or arithmetic of any kind is needed.
A mass oscillates on the end of a spring with a period of four seconds what is the frequency of the oscillator?
Period, T , and frequency, f , are always the inverse of each other; f = 1/T
What is the duration of To Spring?
The duration of To Spring is 540.0 seconds.

What is the length of the days in spring?
Clock time doesn't change; each day is 24 hours long except when leap seconds are added or subtracted; this is infrequent and usually happens New Year's Eve. The period of sunlight begins to get longer than the period of dark when spring begins.
What is the duration of Spring Break Challenge?
The duration of Spring Break Challenge is 3600.0 seconds.
What is the mating period?
Spring
What are the seasons and cycles of an international space station?
Winter, Spring, Sumer and Autumn. The cycles are bicycles and motorcycles, but these are generally not used, due to their relative uselessness in low gravity.
Will the time period of loaded spring change when taken to moon?
No.Time period of a loaded spring depends on mass and spring constant which are same on Earth aswell as moon.
What is the best time to plant beans?
Do it like 5 seconds.
What is the frequency vibration if the mass at the end of a spring makes one vibration in 2 seconds?
frequency = 1 / period f = 1/2 = 0.5 Hertz
Your dog is two and has only had two cycles is this normal?
Yes. Larger dogs start their heat cycles later than small dogs and some breeds and mixes - like high percentage wolf dogs - cycle only once per year in the late winter/very early spring for spring pups.
