A particle is executing simple harmonic motion with amplitude 
. At the instant when its kinetic energy 
is equal to its potential energy ( 
), its speed is suddenly doubled. What will bethe new amplitude of the motion?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
When kinetic energy ( 
) equals potential energy ( 
) in SHM, the displacement 
is 
and the speed 
is 
.
∴ New amplitude 
is given by
