A weight suspended from a spring bobs uo and down over a distance of 20 centimeters twice each second what is it frequency?

If it vibrates up and down twice each second, its frequency is 2 Hz.
Its speed makes no difference.

What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
The difference between frequency of a wave and the period of a wave?
Frequency: number of cycles per second. Period: the distance between two crests. The period depends not only on the frequency, but also on the wave's speed.
20 waves pass through a point in 2 second If the distance between crest and adjacent trough 1.5m calculate the frequency and the wave length?
Frequency: 20 waves per 2 seconds = 10 waves per second = 10 Hz.Wavelength: Double the distance between crest and adjacent trough = 3 meters.Speed: (frequency) x (wavelength) = 10 x 3 = 30 meters per second.
How is amplitude different from from frequency?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement - I.e. the distance from the peak of the wave to its middle (generally zero) Frequency is the number of oscillations (complete wavelengths) per second
What do you call the number of waves that pass by a given point in one second?
frequency, the unit is Hz, measured as cycles/second or waves/second
What is the wavelength of radio waves that have a frequency of 530MHz?
Wavelength = speed / frequency300,000,000 meters per second/530,000,000 per second = 56.6 centimeters
How can you find the wave speed from the wavelength and frequency?
Im fairly sure that its frequency multiplied by wavelength. Frequency is essentially waves per second, since hertz is cycles per second, so its distance (metres) times frequency (cycles per second), which gives speed (metres per second).
A wave travels an average distance of 1 meter in 1 second with a frequency of 1 hertz Its amplitude is?
A wave travels an average distance of 1 meter in 1 second with a frequency of 1 hertz Its amplitude is that there is not enough information to say. A 60 vibration per second wave travels 30 meters in 1 second, its frequency is 60 hertz and it travels 30 meters per second.
What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1760 million cycles per second?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (300 million meters/sec) / (1.760 GHz) = 17 centimetersDivide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (cycles/second). The answer will be in meters.
What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
What is the wavelength of a sound made by a violin string that has a frequency of 640 Hz if the sound is traveling at 350 meters per second?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 350/640 = 54.7 centimeters (rounded)
In the distance you notice a flashing light you count the number of flashes and find that it is flashing 60 times in one minute what is the frequency?
Frequency is measured by hertz, or Hz. 1 Hz is a frequency of one cycle per second, and as such a frequency of 60 flashes per second would yield 60 Hz.
The difference between frequency of a wave and the period of a wave?
Frequency: number of cycles per second. Period: the distance between two crests. The period depends not only on the frequency, but also on the wave's speed.
What term refers to the distance a wave travels in a cycle?
The distance a wave goes in a single cycle is determined by a few things. The most important is the frequency, or how many cycles are in a second. The speed of a wave is also important, as it is independent from the frequency.
20 waves pass through a point in 2 second If the distance between crest and adjacent trough 1.5m calculate the frequency and the wave length?
Frequency: 20 waves per 2 seconds = 10 waves per second = 10 Hz.Wavelength: Double the distance between crest and adjacent trough = 3 meters.Speed: (frequency) x (wavelength) = 10 x 3 = 30 meters per second.
What is the relationship wavelength and frequency?
Frequency is the number of wavelenghts passing though a given point in one second. Wavelength is the distance between two crest or troughs. The relationship between wavelenght and frequency is given by f = 1/wavelength. where f = frequency
How is amplitude different from from frequency?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement - I.e. the distance from the peak of the wave to its middle (generally zero) Frequency is the number of oscillations (complete wavelengths) per second
