Exam-style question
Try this first
A mass-spring oscillator completes repeated cycles; distinguish frequency from period before selecting the correct statement.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- 0.5 Hz
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is 0.5 Hz. This scenario is intentionally about a mass-spring oscillator completes repeated cycles; distinguish frequency from period before selecting the correct statement.
The distractors fail because they either swap the relevant quantities, use the wrong direction, or confuse a related but different oscillation or circular-motion idea.
