Problem 72GP

If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what multiplicative factor do the following quantities change: (a) angular frequency, (b) frequency, (c) period, (d) maximum. speed, (e) maximum acceleration, (f) total mechanical energy?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

(a) The angular frequency of the harmonic oscillator is independent of its amplitude of vibrations. So, if the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, there is no change in its angular frequency.
