Question

jeremy pulls a slinky a distance of 16 inches from its equilibrium position and then releases it. the time for one oscillation is 2 seconds. step 1 of 2 : find the amplitude and period of the slinky.

Explanation:

Step1: Define amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Given it's pulled 16 inches from equilibrium, so amplitude is 16 inches.

Step2: Define period

Period is the time for one - oscillation. Given time for one oscillation is 2 seconds, so period is 2 seconds.

Answer:

Amplitude: 16 inches
Period: 2 seconds
