Hooke's Law Activity









1) What is the mathematical relationship between the applied force and the stretch of the spring?
Well, as the force increases so does the stretch. We can conclude that they are directly proportional to each other.
2) What conclusion can you draw between the applied force and the stretch of the spring?
The force follows the stretch. The greater the force, the greater the stretch.
3)What is the spring constant for your experiment?

4)Do you think the relationship between the applied force and the stretch of the spring will hold for all masses? Explain your answer.
I think so because it seems to be an established fact that with any mass, the force required to move that mass will result in a stretch. The force and stretch will keep effecting each other as the mass is moved.
