Question

the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled. How does this affect the maximum velocity,the total energy and the period of oscillator?

Answer 1

Dear student
A- amplitude of oscillator
a. Maximum velocity of the oscillator is given by
V=Aω
When amplitude double the velocity will double
b. Total energy is 1/2(kA²)
When amplitude double total energy become 4 time
c. Time period is independent of amplitude hence it will remain unchanged
