SHM Phase Space Ellipse and Spring Constant
The motion of a particle in simple harmonic motion (SHM) is represented by an ellipse in a velocity-versus-position phase space diagram. If the spring constant of the system is doubled while the mass remains constant, how does the shape of the ellipse change?
A
The ellipse becomes narrower horizontally
B
The ellipse remains unchanged in shape
C
The ellipse becomes wider horizontally
D
The ellipse becomes taller vertically
