The pendulum swings due to the restored force of gravity, which seeks to bring the mass back to the equilibrium point. The oscillatory behavior is described by a trigonometric solution, which relates the pendulum's position to time, considering its amplitude, frequency and initial phase. Statement: A simple pendulum moves according to the following question:y(t) = A.sin(ωt + φ)In this question, y(t) is the horizontal position of the pendulum, A is its amplitude, ω is its angular velocity, given by ω = 2πf, and φ is the initial phase of the movement, in radians. Since the initial phase of the movement is equal to 0 and its angular velocity is π/2 rad/s, the oscillation frequency of this pendulum is correctly given by the alternative: a) 2.0Hz b) 1.5Hz c) 1.0Hz d) 0.5Hz e) 0.25Hzarrow_forward
