What is the amplitude when you are given the mass and period and position of the oscillator and the velocity of the oscillator?
Baconiscrucial
amplitude is the maximum displacement right from the equilibrium position. It does not depend on the mass, period or velocity. Recall displacement at any instant t is
y = A sin 2 pi f t or A sin 2 pi t/T
f = frequency and T - time period.

How are waves different?
u can differentiate seismic waves by 1- their movement , 2 - velocity , 3 - amplitude , period and frequency .
Does the time period of oscillation depend on the displacement from the equilibrium position?
As long as angular amplitude is kept small, the period does not depend on the angular amplitude of the oscillation. It is simply dependent on the weight. It should be noted that to some extent period actually does depend on the angular amplitude and if it gets too large, the effect will become noticeable.
Is an object's change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time?
In the question, "an object's change in position...over...time" is a perfectly reasonable definition of velocity.
The period of anharmonic vibrations is independent of the amplitude?
Yes, the period doesn't influence or depend on the amplitude of vibrations. Tides and earthquakes have vibrations with long periods and enormous amplitude. The timing crystal in a 'quartz' wristwatch has vibrations with short period and tiny amplitude. The sound playing through a loudspeaker or a set of earbuds can sweep through the full frequency range of human hearing ... changing the period of the vibrations from 0.05 second to 0.00005 second ... while maintaining constant amplitude.
What is the distance from the rest position in a wave to the crest or trough?
Let us look at a cosine wave, described by y = A cos (b). When b = 0 degrees, y = A (<-- peak) When b = 90 degrees, y = 0 (<-- rest position of the wave) When b = 180 degrees, y = -A (<-- trough) When b = 270 degrees, y=0 (<-- rest position again) and so on. If we force A to be a function of time, then the wave becomes a standing wave (see the related link). The peak and trough will reverse their relative position for every half of a period. Regardless, the trough at any time and the rest position is still 90 degrees, or one quarter of a wavelength. ====================================

What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
Is distance directly proportional to velocity?
Distance Traveled is directly proportional to velocity. This is because velocity is the change in position over a period of time. The greater the velocity, the greater the distance traveled. For you calculus junkies, integrate velocity to get displacement.
What is a change in velocity in given period of time?
Change in velocity = Velocity at the end of the period minus velocity at the start of the period.
Why does the period of a pendulum not depend on the amplitude?
Actually, the period of a pendulum does depend slightly on the amplitude. But at low amplitudes, it almost doesn't depend on the amplitude at all. This is related to the fact that in such a case, the restoring force - the force that pulls the pendulum back to its center position - is proportional to the displacement. That is, if the pendulum moves away further, the restoring force will also be greater.
What is the period and amplitude for y equals 7 cos 2x?
amplitude =7. to find the period, set 2x equal to 2∏. then x=∏=period

Is amplitude same as period?
No. If compared to ocean waves, amplitude would be wave height, and period would be how long to next wave.
What is the amplitude and period of f(t) -5 cos(8t)?
Amplitude = 5 Period = pi/4 radians (= 45 degrees).
Does a period of a pendulum depend on the amplitude?
For very little swings, no, the period is unrelated to the amplitude. For larger swings, however, the period increases slightly due to circular error.
Is an object's change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time?
In the question, "an object's change in position...over...time" is a perfectly reasonable definition of velocity.
