Two identical undamped oscillators have the same amplitude of oscillation only if: A)they are started with the same displacement x₀ B)they are started with the same velocity v₀ C)they are started with the same phase D)they are started so the combination ω² x₀²+v₀² is the same E)they are started so the combination x₀²+ω² v₀² is the same

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amplitude of an undamped oscillator is determined by the combination of initial displacement and velocity, specifically by the expression ω²x₀² + v₀².
