A tuning fork vibrates at 15,660 oscillations every minute. What is the period (in seconds) of one back and forth vibration of the tuning fork?

Respuesta :

We are given:

The tuning fork vibrates at 15660 oscillations per minute

Period of one back-and forth movement:

the given data can be rewritten as:

1 minute / 15660 oscillations

60 seconds / 15660 oscillations          (1 minute  = 60 seconds)

dividing the values

0.0038 seconds / Oscillation

Therefore, one back and forth vibration takes 0.0038 seconds
