Question

1. Consider a simple harmonic oscillator made of a mass sliding on a frictionless surface, and attached to a massless linear spring. Which of the following statements are true? (If A and E are, and the others are not, enter TFFFT).
2. 
   
3. 
   
4.      A) Quadrupling the mass will double the period.
5. 
   
6.      B) Doubling the spring constant will double the frequency.
7. 
   
8.      C) Doubling the amplitude will not change the period.
9. 
   
10.      D) Halving the amplitude will quadruple the frequency.
11. 
    
12.      E) Tripling the mass will sextuple the period.

Explanation / Answer
