A particle is oscillating in a straight line about a centre

A particle is oscillating in a straight line about a centre of force O towards which when at a distance x the force is mn x where m is the mass n is a constant The amplitude is a 15 cm When at a distance a 3 2 from O the particle receives a blow in the direction of motion which generates extra velocity na If the velocity is away from O find the new amplitude in cm
