The amplitude of a system moving in simple harmonic motion is doubled. determine by what factor the following change.
(a) the total energy
(b) the maximum speed
(c) the maximum acceleration
(d) the period

(a) The total energy increases by a factor 4

The total energy of a simple harmonic system is given by:

where

k is the spring constant

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this part of the problem, the amplitude is doubled:

A' = 2A

So the new total energy is

So, the energy quadruples.

(b) The maximum speed increases by a factor 2

The maximum speed in a simple harmonic motion is given by

where

is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

A is the amplitude

In this part of the problem, k and m do not change, so the angular frequency does not change. Instead, the amplitude is doubled:

A' = 2A

So the new maximum speed is

so, the maximum speed doubles.

(c) The maximum acceleration increases by a factor 2

The maximum acceleration in a simple harmonic motion is given by

where

is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

A is the amplitude

In this part of the problem, k and m do not change, so the angular frequency does not change. Instead, the amplitude is doubled:

A' = 2A

So the new maximum acceleration is

so, the maximum acceleration doubles.

(d) The period does not change

The period in a simple harmonic motion is given by

where m is the mass and k is the spring constant.

In this problem, the amplitude is doubled:

A' = 2A

However, we notice that the period does not depend on the amplitude, and since both m and k do not change, then the period will remain constant.

cell differentiation  is how generic embryonic  cells  become specialized  cells. this occurs  through a process called gene expression. gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a  cell  functions.
