Understanding Hooke's Law

What is Hooke's Law?

• Hooke's Law describes the relationship between temperature and pressure.

• Hooke's Law states that energy is conserved in a closed system.

• Hooke's Law describes the linear relationship between the force exerted on a spring and its displacement.

• Hooke's Law is a principle that applies only to elastic materials.

How does Hooke's Law relate to elasticity?

• Hooke's Law describes the relationship between temperature and elasticity.

• Hooke's Law describes the linear relationship between force and displacement in elastic materials.

• Hooke's Law states that all materials are perfectly elastic.

• Hooke's Law applies only to fluids and not solids.

What is the formula for Hooke's Law?

• F = kx

• F = -2kx

• F = kx^2

• F = -kx

Define the spring constant in your own words.

• The spring constant measures the weight of the spring itself.

• The spring constant is the distance a spring can stretch before breaking.

• The spring constant indicates the temperature at which a spring operates best.

• The spring constant is a measure of a spring's stiffness, indicating how much force is needed to stretch or compress it by a certain distance.

How do you calculate the spring constant from a spring?

• k = F / x

• k = v / t

• k = P / A

• k = m / a

If a spring stretches 0.5 meters with a force of 10 N, what is the spring constant?

• 15 N/m

• 25 N/m

• 30 N/m

• 20 N/m

What units are used for the spring constant?

• J/m

• N/cm

• N/m

• kg/m

Explain a real-world application of Hooke's Law.

• Hooke's Law describes the behavior of gases under pressure.

• Hooke's Law is applied in cooking to measure ingredient weights.

• Hooke's Law is used in electrical circuits to regulate voltage.

• Car suspension systems use Hooke's Law to absorb shocks and maintain vehicle stability.
