Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. In this case, the event is the dripping of the faucet, and the unit time is one second. The frequency of the dripping is therefore:$$f = \frac{40 \mathrm{~drips}}{30.0 \mathrm{~s}} = 1.33 \mathrm{~Hz}$$Therefore, the correct answer is A.
