If you double the amplitude of a box on a spring, how would that affect the acceleration at maximum displacement The acceleration would triple. The acceleration would double. The acceleration would remain the same. The acceleration would be cut in \( 1 / 2 \).

Step 1
The acceleration \( a \) of a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's Law: \[ a = -\frac{k}{m} x \] where \( k \) is the spring constant, \( m \) is the mass, and \( x \) is the displacement from the equilibrium position. Show more…

A student measures the maximum speed of a block undergoing simple harmonic oscillations of amplitude A on the end of an ideal spring. If the block is replaced by one with twice its mass but the amplitude of its oscillations remains the same, then the maximum speed of the block will (A) decrease by a factor of 4 (B) decrease by a factor of 2 (C) decrease by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$ (D) increase by a factor of 2
Note: Neglect the mass of the spring in all problems in this section. The amplitude of a system moving in simple harmonic motion is doubled. Determine the change in (a) the total energy, (b) the maximum speed, (c) the maximum acceleration, and (d) the period.
