Hooke’s law.

Use Hooke’s Law to determine what the applied force should be. Does your prediction match what the software shows?

ASSIGNMENT Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/hookes-law Part 1: Click on Intro. Set the spring constant to 200N/m. Click in all of the check boxes to show all vectors and values. Apply a force of 60 N by dragging the red plunger or the red slider. What are the forces? What is the displacement? Use Hooke’s Law to […]

Determine if a rubber band obeys Hooke’s law.  Combine the qualitative observations of a model with the quantitative results of an experiment into a coherent formal report.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES  Analyze a spring-mass system using Hooke’s law and a best-fit line. Determine if a rubber band obeys Hooke’s law. Combine the qualitative observations of a model with the quantitative results of an experiment into a coherent formal report.
