A nurse counts 75 heartbeats in one minute. What are the period and frequency of the heart's oscillations? period min frequency 1/min
Added by Janet B.
Step 1
Given that the frequency of the heart's oscillations is 1.25 Hz, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Frequency} = \frac{1}{\text{Period}} \] \[ 1.25 = \frac{1}{\text{Period}} \] \[ \text{Period} = \frac{1}{1.25} = 0.8 \text{ seconds} \] Show more…
