A mass-on-a-spring oscillator has m = 7.0 kg and k = 300 N/m and is oscillating with an amplitude of 12 cm. (a) If the value of the mass is increased by a factor of two but the amplitude is kept fixed, is the maximum potential energy the same, or is it different? (b) Find the original value and the new value of the maximum potential energy. (c) Explain why changing the mass does or does not change the potential energy. (d) Does changing the mass change the value of the maximum kinetic energy?
