Frequency Formula Basics: 2 Ways to Calculate Frequency

Here are two examples of how you might need to find frequency in real-world scenarios. Example 1 A radio station broadcasts its signal with a frequency of 98.5 megahertz (MHz). Imagine you want to find the corresponding time period of one cycle of the radio wave. To find the time period, you can use the… Continue reading Frequency Formula Basics: 2 Ways to Calculate Frequency

Physics Displacement Formula: How to Calculate Displacement

Let’s calculate displacement using some real-world examples. Example 1: Constant Velocity If an object has constant velocity, you can use the velocity formula to calculate displacement. For example, f a car has an average velocity of 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers per hour) and travels for 15 minutes, what is its displacement? To solve… Continue reading Physics Displacement Formula: How to Calculate Displacement
