A child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period (s) of motion. times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period (s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.
