You can figure this out theoretically by the equation T = 2π*sqrt(m/k). When you increase the m (mass) value, T (period) also increases. When you decrease the m value, T also decreases. For example: T = 2π*sqrt(1/2) T = 4.44s T = 2π*sqrt(3/2) T = 7.70s

If the initial displacement from equilibrium amplitude is changed does the period of oscillation change?
Initial displacement has no effect on the period of oscillation. The period T = 2(pi)sqrt(mass/spring constant)
Why is it that the more mass added to the end of a suspended spring the greater the time period?
A spring stretches because the coiled spring stores potential energy. This energy is released as the spring is stretched and returns to its original shape. Over a period of time, the spring becomes worn and loses the potential energy.
If a mass on a spring takes eight seconds to complete five cycles what is its period?
(8 seconds) / (5 periods) = 1.6 seconds per period
Does a change in the mass affect the density of the object?
Adding mass may increase or decrease the density if the substance added is different. Merely changing the mass will not affect the density.
Does more air make a ball lighter?
Yes, it does. Actually, i don't think it does. It should make the ball heavier. A ball typically has a constant volume. Adding more air into it doesn't change the volume, but the pressure increases, and you are adding mass into the ball. Adding mass into the ball does make it heavier, and it becomes denser as well. Of course, the change in mass is quite small - you'd have to pump 1.3m3 of air into the ball to increase its mass by 1 kg
Will the time period of loaded spring change when taken to moon?
No.Time period of a loaded spring depends on mass and spring constant which are same on Earth aswell as moon.
Would adding an electron to hydrogen change its mass?
no, it would change its charge not its mass.

How do you change the gravitational force of an object in the universe?
1. Change its mass. 2. Change the mass of objects near it.
How does the period of revolution change when the mass of the revolving body changes?
The period of revolution is independent of the mass. You can have different masses revolving with the same period.
If a mass on a spring takes eight seconds to complete five cycles what is its period?
(8 seconds) / (5 periods) = 1.6 seconds per period
Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity changes?
Mass doesn't change. Mass the is substance of an object, moving it around won't affect how much mass it has, only adding or subtracting from the object would affect the quantity of mass. The weight would change because gravity is inversely proportional to distance but not the mass.
Does a change in the mass affect the density of the object?
Adding mass may increase or decrease the density if the substance added is different. Merely changing the mass will not affect the density.
What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum does not depend?
The time of a period doesn't depend on the mass of the Bob(that'll be a mass spring system) It also doesn't depend on Friction..
Can the speed and frequency of the waves in a spring be changed?
All violinists believe so. The springs (= violin string) properties of frequency and timbre can be altered by the pressure of the bow against the string. Even in a simple coiled spring, you'll find the period of the pluck waves will change as the spring is elongated. But the purist will point out (correctly) that it is now a different spring. My favourite demonstration is of a rubber band about 200 mm long, with a mass at the lower end. This spring+mass apparatus has at least three resonant periods! First is that of a simple pendulum. Second is that of a torsional resonance (much slower). Third is that of the vertical oscillation of a spring-mass system.
