This is homework *help*; you’ve merely posted your assignment. Show what you’ve done so far, explain where you’re stuck, and we can help you over the rough spot. Simply handing you the answers would be cheating.

Basically, you need to find the basic motion equations in your textbook and plug in the numbers. The first one is simple division (20 cycles, 14.6 seconds); you should have been able to get that one without posting here.
