Which type of spring has fast oscillations: stiff or soft?

Two small bodies of mass $2 \, kg$ each are attached to each other using a thread of length $10 \, cm$,and hang on a spring whose force constant is $200 \, N/m$,as shown in the figure. We burn the thread. What is the distance between the two bodies when the top body first arrives at its highest position? (Take $\pi^2 = 10$)

$A$ mass '$m$' attached to a spring oscillates with a period of $3 \ s$. If the mass is increased by $0.6 \ kg$,the period increases by $3 \ s$. The initial mass '$m$' is equal to (in $kg$)

$A$ block $A$ of mass $1\, kg$ is connected to two identical springs of spring constant $800\, N/m$ and is placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Initially,the springs are relaxed. Now,the block $A$ is slightly displaced to the left and released. The time period of oscillation of the system is

$A$ spring-mass system vibrates such that the mass travels on a surface with a coefficient of friction $\mu$. The mass is released after compressing the spring by a distance $a$ and it travels up to a distance $b$ after its equilibrium position. Then,while traveling from $x = -a$ to $x = b$,the reduction in its amplitude will be:

The motion of a mass on a spring,with spring constant $K$ is as shown in the figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t) = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$ with $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$. Suppose that at time $t = 0$,the position of the mass is $x(0)$ and velocity is $v(0)$,then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t) = C \cos (\omega t - \phi)$,where $C$ and $\phi$ are:
