Answer

$$1.257 \mathrm{\ sec},\quad 0.796 \mathrm{\ Hz}$$

Work Step by Step

$\because$ we can describe displacement of a certain object by: $$y(t)=23 \sin (5 t)$$ Where $t$ measured in Seconds. $$\therefore \omega=5\ rad/sec \quad\quad\quad\quad(1)$$ we can get Its period by: $$P=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} \quad\quad\quad\quad(2)$$ Substitute from $(1)$ in $(2) :$ $$\therefore P=\frac{2 \pi}{5}=1.257 \mathrm{sec}\quad\quad\quad\quad(3)$$ we can get the oscillation frequency by: $$f=\frac{1}{P}$$ Substitute the value of $P$ calculated in $(3) :$ $$\therefore f=\frac{1}{1.257}=0.796 \mathrm{Hz}$$
