[4 marks] Spring constant = N/m 0 2 . 6 Hooke’s Law states that: ‘The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied, provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded.’ The student concluded that over the range of force used, the spring obeyed Hooke’s Law. Explain how the data supports the student’s conclusion.

A spring has a spring constant of 5N/cm.  What is its extension when loaded with 15N?2 marks4cm5cm3m3cm

8 J of energy is used to stretch a spring by 0.1 m.What is the value of its spring constant?

A spring has an unstretched length of 4.50 cm. The spring is fixed at one end and a force of35.0 N is applied to the other end so that the spring extends.The spring obeys Hooke’s law and has a spring constant of 420 N m–1 .What is the strain of the extended spring?A 0.019 B 0.083 C 1.85 D 2.67

A weight of 2.0 N is hung from a spring. The extension produced is 6.0 cm. The 2.0 N weight is removed and an 8.0 N weight is hung from the spring. The spring does not pass its limit of proportionality.What is the new extension of the spring?
