These exceptions include: 1  If a car behind you rear-ended your vehicle and pushed you into the back of another car. 2  Driver negligence, such as a car parked, broken down, or stopped with no warning lights. 3  A driver impaired by alcohol.
In mathematical terms, the frequency is the number of complete vibrational cycles of a medium per a given amount of time. Given this definition, it is reasonable that the quantity frequency would have units of cycles/second, waves/second, vibrations/second, or something/second. Another unit for frequency is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz) where 1 Hz is equivalent to 1 cycle/second.
For periodic motion, frequency is the number of oscillations per unit time. The relationship between frequency and period is. The SI unit for frequency is the cycle per second, which is defined to be a hertz (Hz): A cycle is one complete oscillation.
