Answer 1

When the student moves the jump rope up and down faster, the quantity that will increase is the **frequency**.

Frequency is defined as the number of complete waves created in a certain amount of time. If the student increases the speed of their motion, they are creating more waves in the same time period, which increases the frequency.

So the correct answer is: **frequency**.
