If the frequency of a simple pendulum is 2 Hz, how many oscillations will it complete in 16 seconds?

  • A.8
  • B.16
  • C.32
  • D.64

Answer: C

The pendulum completes 32 oscillations.

Frequency is the number of oscillations per second, so a frequency of 2 Hz means 2 oscillations every second:

\[ 2\ \text{s}^{-1} \times 16\ \text{s} = 32 \]

8 is what you get by dividing 16 by 2, as if 2 Hz were the time period of 2 seconds. 16 ignores the frequency and 64 doubles the correct answer.
