FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Hooke's Law?

Back

Hooke's Law states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position, expressed as F = -kx, where F is the force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula to calculate the spring constant (k)?

Back

The spring constant (k) can be calculated using the formula k = F/x, where F is the force applied to the spring and x is the displacement.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the unit of spring constant?

Back

The unit of spring constant is N/m (Newtons per meter).

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a spring has a spring constant of 200 N/m and is compressed by 0.5 m, what is the force exerted by the spring?

Back

Using Hooke's Law, F = kx = 200 N/m * 0.5 m = 100 N.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a high spring constant indicate about a material?

Back

A high spring constant indicates that the material is stiff and requires a large force to produce a small displacement.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a spring is stretched by 0.3 m with a force of 150 N, what is the spring constant?

Back

Using the formula k = F/x, k = 150 N / 0.3 m = 500 N/m.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the spring force when the displacement is doubled?

Back

According to Hooke's Law, if the displacement is doubled, the spring force also doubles, assuming the spring constant remains the same.
