    An oscillating system has a frequency of 20 Hz.  What is its time period

    • 20s

    • 1s

    • 0.5s

    • 0.1s

    • 0.05s

    • 0.02

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.05s
    Explanation
    The time period of an oscillating system is the time taken for one complete cycle of oscillation. In this case, the system has a frequency of 20 Hz, which means it completes 20 cycles in one second. To find the time period, we divide 1 second by the frequency. Therefore, the time period is 1/20 seconds, which is equal to 0.05 seconds.

    What are the characteristics of the moon?

    • White

    • Round

    • Big

    • Square

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. White
    A. Round
    A. Big
    Explanation
    The moon is often described as white because it reflects sunlight, appearing as a bright white object in the night sky. It is also round in shape, as it is a natural satellite that has been shaped by gravitational forces. Additionally, the moon is considered big compared to other celestial bodies, as it is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system. However, the characteristic "square" is not applicable to the moon, as it does not have a square shape.
