PHY 101 Rotational Motion Objective Question

Question

The frequency f of a rotating object is related to its period T by the equation
Options
A f = T
B f = 2πT
C f = 1/T
Correct Answer
D f = T/2π
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Frequency (f) is the number of revolutions or cycles per unit time, while the period (T) is the time for one complete cycle. They are reciprocals of each other: f = 1/T.

Hint

If an object takes 0.5 seconds to complete one rotation (period T), how many rotations does it complete in one second (frequency f)?
