** CQ_1_10.1_labelMessages **
A pendulum requires 2 seconds to complete a cycle, which consists of a complete back-and-forth oscillation (extreme point to equilibrium to opposite extreme point back to equilibrium and finally to the original extreme point). As long as the amplitude of the motion (the amplitude is the distance from the equilibrium position to the extreme point) is small compared to the length of the pendulum, the time required for a cycle is independent of the amplitude.
• How long does it take to get from one extreme point to the other, how long from an extreme point to equilibrium, and how long to go from extreme point to equilibrium to opposite extreme point and back to equilibrium?
A full cycle takes 2 seconds where a full cycle is extreme point to equilibirium, equilibrium to other extreme point, other extreme point to equilibirium, and equilibrium to starting point.
This description breaks the 2 second cycle into 4 equal parts
So from one extreme point to another rwould take 1 second
From extreme point to equilibrium would be .5 second
And from extreme point, to equilibrium, to opposite extreme point and back to equilibrium would take1.5 seconds

• What reasonable assumption did you make to arrive at your answers?
A full cycle takes 2 seconds where a full cycle is extreme point to equilibrium, equilibrium to other extreme point, other extreme point to equilibrium, and equilibrium to starting point.
