Answer:
less than stating velocity due to friction and air resistance.
Explanation:
explanation
a=average velocity/average time
average velocity=0.0+1.2+2.4+3.6/4
average velocity=7.2/4
average velocity=1.8 m/s
average time=0.0+3.0+6.0+9.0/4
average time=18/4
average time=4.5 s
a= average velocity/average time
a=1.8/4.5
a=0.4 m/s²
The formula for the time period oscillation of a spring is:
T = 2π√(m/k) where m is the mass of the object attached to the spring and k is the spring constant of the spring.
Multiplying m by 4 we have:
2π√(4m/k)
= 2π x 2√(m/k)
or 2 x (2π√(m/k)) or 2T.
Therefore, when object is four times as massive, then period will double.
