What are the possible errors in the hookes law experiment?

Wind/air currents which make spring to oscillate. Measuring extension when spring is oscillating/has not yet stabilized. Including the length of the hooks to the extension of the helical coils of spring.

Possible errors in Hooke's law experiment?

There are many possible errors in a Hooke's law experiment. Examples of some common errors are: Not reading the ruler correctly when measuring the extension of the spring. Not starting the timer at exactly the same time as when the weight is added to the spring. Not adding the weights in a smooth, continuous motion. Not adding the same amount of weight to each spring. The spring could be damaged or broken, which would affect the results. Other sources of error could include: The spring could be old and not have the same elasticity as a new spring. The spring could be of a different material than what is expected, which would affect the results. The experiment could be done in a place with a lot of vibration, which would affect the results.


We are building a scale in physics using the concept of spring force. However when we use different masses we get different K values. Why isn't our k value constant for our spring force project?

The k value is constant for the spring force project because the spring used is of the same material. As I recall this experiment with a wire, instead of a coiled spring, the wire had kinks in it -- so it was a compound spring. A kink would act as a spring until it was stretched out, and then it would add (a litttle) to the length of the wire. It was a mess to figure out. In your experiment, try adding weights of (x), (x+delta), (x+2*detla), where x is a weight and delta is a tiny, tiny weight. The k value might be constant over that small range of values.


How did the wavelength in the spring change as it moved from side to side more quickly?

I wasn't there and didn't observe the experiment. But I would take a wild guessand say that as long as the tension in the spring doesn't change, the speed ofpropagation of waves in it is constant. So if you wiggle the end faster, the wavesmust get shorter.

What are helical springs?

Helical springs are the typical, common, wound springs used in tension or compression. The term 'helical' comes from the spring being a helix- the wire is wound around a mandrel, advancing along the length of the mandrel as it is wound.
