The answer is cleverly embedded in the question. If it takes one second to make a complete vibration, then that's the period.
What is the acceleration if the speed is increased to 8 meters per second?
Not enough information. You also need to know:* The initial speed * How long it takes to speed up If you divide the difference in speed by the time it takes to speed up, you get the average acceleration for that time period.

The speed of a passenger train is 16mph faster than the speed of a freight train The passenger train travels 250miles in the same time it takes the freight train to travel 170 miles find the speed o?
Passenger train speed + 50 mph Freight train speed = 34mph V(passenger) = V(freight) + 16mph Vp x Time = 250mi. Vf x Time = 170mi. therefore... a. [Vf + 16] x T = 250 b. Vf x T = 170 Subtract b. from a. 16T = 80 Time = 5 hours Vp = 250/5 = 50 mph Vf = 170/5 = 34 mph
