Question 2

A vibration generator causes a point on a metal rod to oscillate. A student uses a video recording to measure the time for the point to complete 16 oscillations. The measurement is repeated three times.

MeasurementTime for 16 oscillations (s\mathrm{s}s)
16.3
26.4
36.5

Which calculation gives the frequency of the oscillations?

[1]
A

6.3+6.4+6.516×3 Hz\dfrac{6.3+6.4+6.5}{16\times3}\ \mathrm{Hz}16×36.3+6.4+6.5​ Hz

B

16×3(6.3+6.4+6.5)/3 Hz\dfrac{16\times3}{(6.3+6.4+6.5)/3}\ \mathrm{Hz}(6.3+6.4+6.5)/316×3​ Hz

C

166.3+6.4+6.5 Hz\dfrac{16}{6.3+6.4+6.5}\ \mathrm{Hz}6.3+6.4+6.516​ Hz

D

16×36.3+6.4+6.5 Hz\dfrac{16\times3}{6.3+6.4+6.5}\ \mathrm{Hz}6.3+6.4+6.516×3​ Hz
