Question
A student investigating the extension of a spring used the results obtained to plot the graph. The gradient G of the graph line is numerically equal to a constant k for the spring. Determine k. (record your answer to 3 s.f.)*2 points
Solution
To determine the constant k for the spring, you would need to know the gradient G of the graph line. However, the problem states that the gradient G is numerically equal to the constant k. Therefore, the value of k is the same as the value of G. Without specific values provided in the problem, it's impossible to give a numerical answer. You would need to measure the gradient of the graph line to find the value of k.

A student is investigating how the force applied to two different springs affects their extension. She plots an extension-force graph for spring A (with extension on the y-axis and force on the x-axis) and obtains a straight line. On the same axes, she plots a second straight line using the data which she obtained for spring B. The gradient (slope) of the line for spring B is lower than that for spring A. What does this tell us about the spring constants of these springs?The spring constant of spring A is equal to that of spring BThe spring constant of spring A is lower than that of spring BNothingThe spring constant of spring A is greater than that of spring B

Spring calculations: A spring stretches 0.150n m when a 0.3 kgmass is gently suspended from it. The spring is then set uphorizontally with the 0.3 kg mass resting on the frictionless table.The mass is pulled so that the spring is stretched 0.1 m from theequilibrium point and released from rest. Determine a) the springstiffness constant k, b) the amplitude of the maximum acceleration.
A 3.4-kg object rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is in a position such that it is compressing a spring a distance 11.8 cm.If the object is released, the object leaves the spring at a speed of 18.3 cm/s.What is the spring constant of the spring?Express your answer in N/m, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
