The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator  is doubled.

So,

     Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is  X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)  ...........(1)

                                                            Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

                                                                        A = Amplitude  in (m,cm,km.....)

                                                                        F = Frequency in (Hz)

                                                                        T = Time in (sec.)

                                                                        Ф = Phase in (rad)

  For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

                          Initial displacement = A\sin(\phi)    .................(2)            

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

                                \frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)

                                 V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

                                Initial speed = 2\pi fA\cos\phi    ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

A scientist kept 1,000 grams of a radioactive material in a container. After 66 days, he observed that 125 grams of the radioact
bixtya [17]
The sample appears to have gone through 3 half-lives
1st half life: 1000 to 500 g
2nd half life: 500 to 250 g
3rd half life: 250 to 125 g
The duration of a half-life, therefore, can be inferred to be 66 ÷ (3) = 22 days. 

After a 4th half life, there will be 125÷2= 62.5 g. 
At this point, an additional 22 days will have passed, for a total of 88 days.
Answer is C.
