Correct answer: 2
-
Identify the amplitude of the first SHM
The first motion is
This is already in the standard SHM form so its amplitude is
-
Rewrite the second SHM in standard form
The second motion is
Use the identity
Therefore,
So,
Hence the amplitude of the second motion is
-
Find how many times the second amplitude is the first
-
Final answer
The amplitude of the second motion is times the amplitude of the first motion.
