Exam-style question
Try this first
If an object in simple harmonic motion has a period of 2 seconds, what is its angular frequency (ω)? Scenario focus: use ideal gas reasoning in a distinct A-Level Physics context and identify the relevant physical quantity before choosing the answer.
- A.π rad/s
- B.2π rad/s
- C.0.5 rad/s
- D.1 rad/s
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- π rad/s
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is π rad/s. This option is correct for Periodic motion because it applies the ideal gas reasoning idea in the stem and keeps the relevant quantity, unit, and physical conclusion together.
The alternatives either use a neighbouring formula, omit a required variable, or describe a different physical situation.
