(a) greater than,
(b) less than, or
(c) equal to the original total mechanical energy?
Quick Quiz 13.4 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 . The experiment is then repeated with a mass 4m. What's the new period of oscillation?
