I need someone to just check this thought, and confirm or deny:
So, when dealing with Simple Harmonic Motion, if you double the mass of of an object oscillating harmonically on a spring, but the Amplitude (x) remains the same, does the velocity decrease by a factor of 'sqrt. 2'?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! :)

I'll say that - the max velocity decreases by a factor of √2
Because the velocity at any general point also depends on the trigonometric function (which will be effected by change in mass).

Aright, I've figured it out... I feel stupid, but am glad I actually know the stuff now. Thank you! Would you be willing to look at another questions I have?
