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.
How does a straight line graph verifies Hooke's law for a spiral spring?
It depends on what variables are plotted. The straight line graphed (according to the variables) could be the value "k" which is the spring constant. I remember doing an experiement in a labaratory class and we put weights on the spring and measured the distance that the spring extended. From this we were able to graph weight vs. meters and this would give us a straight line... this line would be "k" and would prove Hooke's Law.
Why is it that the more mass added to the end of a suspended spring the greater the time period?
A spring stretches because the coiled spring stores potential energy. This energy is released as the spring is stretched and returns to its original shape. Over a period of time, the spring becomes worn and loses the potential energy.
How does diameter of spring coil affect the force constant?
Keeping the rest characteristics of a coil the same, increasing coil diameter the spring constant decreases.
How does the force affect the spring?
souva di ca. mwa ha ha ha
Why are vehicles fitted with shockers?
Shocks are used to control the motion of the spring, so it doesn't keep Oscillating/bouncing. They also affect ride quality and handling.
How do you increase the frequency in an oscillating mass-spring system?
You either Decrease mass or increase spring force.
Could I see an example of rhythmic activities?
- a swinging pendulum - an oscillating spring
What transformation of energy occurs when an oscillating spring is stretching to return to equilibrium?
heat to gravitational
Can you give examples of phenomena that take on a series of values over and over again?
The sea level as the tide goes in and out. An oscillating spring. A vibrating string.
What is the mating period?
Spring
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.
Will the time period of loaded spring change when taken to moon?
No.Time period of a loaded spring depends on mass and spring constant which are same on Earth aswell as moon.
How does the spring season affect the plankton?
it doesn't really affect it the population is out of control
Can you give some types of kinetic energy?
There are many different forms of kinetic energy, but there are three that are most common. Linear Kinetic Energy (straight line motion) Rotational Kinetic Energy (Like a spinning top) Spring Kinetic Energy (A spring oscillating back and forth)
How do you think a period of cold spring will affect the rabbit population?
The rabbit population will be reduced if there is a cold spring, because the rabbits won't be as active, and the food supply will be reduced. However, the activity of predators will also be reduced; so this factor will mitigate the reduction in the rabbit population somewhat.
What is the difference between static and dynamic variables?
Static variables (should) remain the same e.g. temperature of a water bath, k constant of a particular spring. Dynamic variables change as the experiment progresses e.g. air temperature and pressure, amount of natural light.
