An object of mass m is attached to a horizontal spring, stretched to a displacement A from equilibrium and released, undergoing harmonic oscillations on a frictionless surface. The experiment is then repeated with a mass of 4m. Compared to the original total mechanical energy, the subsequent total mechanical energy of the object with mass 4m is
1.greater.
2.less.
3.equal.
Question 2
An object of mass m is attached to a horizontal spring, stretched to a displacement A from equilibrium and released, undergoing harmonic oscillations on a frictionless surface with period T0. The experiment is then repeated with a mass of 4m. Choose the new period of oscillation.
1. 2T0
2. T0
3. T0/2
4. T0/4
