Answer:

The Explanation describes why that is true for a simple pendulum.

Explanation:

You did not say what was oscillating. I will answer for the case where it is a simple pendulum that is oscillating. If it is a pendulum, amplitude must be small because the "time period does not depend on amplitude" rule applies to pendulums only if it is exhibiting simple harmonic motion.

Simple harmonic motion of a physical system requires that the force restoring the object (bob) to the equilibrium position must be proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position.

The simple pendulum is associated with the restoring force.

  • We can say that the force acting on the body until it reaches its original position.
  • The formula of simple pendulum is F=k·x.
  • Where x is the displacement we can simplify the formula by writing as F=kxsinФ
  • As the Ф will change it will made huge impact on the force acting on the body.
  • As they are both directly proportional to each other.
  • The angle displaced, that change the amplitude also.
  • Therefore, simple pendulum will always have the small angle.
