Homework Statement

A pendulum takes 0.5s to swing from its hgihest point to the equilibrium position. What is the frequency of the pendulum?

Homework Equations

f = 1/T

The Attempt at a Solution

So would it be this?
f = 1/T
f = 1/0.5
f = 2Hz

 

[RTW69]

f=1/T T is the period. The period is how long it takes to make one complete cycle. How long will it take for the pendulum bob to swing from its highest point, through the complete range of motion eventually ending back to the original starting position? That time is T.
