Hi,
I am a bit confused regarding the relation between the acceleration and time period in simple harmonic motion.
This questions asks what would be one change to the motion of a car's wing mirror in case the glass was switched for a heavier one. I don't understand for example, how would the period change. I can think that the same force will have to move a greater mass over the same distance but, wouldn't the amplitude decrease if the mass increases?
Thanks.
