B.
1.0 beat per second
AnswerC.
2.0 beats per second
D.
2.5 beats per second
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The correct answer is Option B: 1.0 beat per secondHere's why:
A seconds pendulum is defined as a pendulum that takes exactly one second to swing in one direction.
This means it takes one second to complete half of its full swing (from one extreme point to the other).
A "beat" refers to one such swing.
Since it takes 1 second for one beat, it means it has 1.0 beat per second.
