How do you convert 10 Hz to seconds?
I know that Hz = s^-1 or 1/s, but I don't understand how to convert the units.
One cant convert frequency to time, but can convert frequency to period..
period(in seconds)=1/frequency.
Period it the time for one cycle.
To convert a frequency in Hz to seconds, you can use the idea that Hz is the reciprocal of seconds. Here's how you can do the conversion:
1. Start with the given frequency, which is 10 Hz.
2. Identify the conversion factor, which is 1 Hz = 1/s. This means that for every 1 Hz, you have 1 second.
3. Set up the conversion as a fraction, with the given frequency in the numerator and the conversion factor in the denominator:
(10 Hz) / (1 Hz) = ? seconds
4. Simplify the units by canceling out the Hz units, leaving you with the desired units of seconds:
10 / 1 = 10 seconds
5. Therefore, 10 Hz is equal to 10 seconds.
Remember, when converting between units, it's important to cancel out the unwanted units by dividing or multiplying by the appropriate conversion factor. In this case, multiplying by the reciprocal of Hz (1/s) allows you to cancel out the Hz units and obtain the desired units of seconds.
