The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillation is doubled. How does this affect (i) periodic time (ii) maximum velocity (iii) maximum acceleration and (iv) maximum energy

Answer» (i) As time period of oscillation os simple pendulum `T=2pisqrt((l)/(g))` is independent of amplitude of oscillation, hence time period of oscillation does no change with the change in the amplitude of oscillation.
(ii) Max. velocity, `v_(0)=omegaA`. When amplitude A is doubled, then max. velocity becomed double.
(iii) Max. acc., `a_(max)=omega^(2)A.` When amplitude A is doubled, then max, acceleration becomes double.
(iv) Total energy
`E=(1)/(2)m(2piv)^(2)A^(2)=2pi^(2)mv^(2)A^(2)`
When amplitude A is doubled, then the energy of oscillator becomes four times.
