The physical significance of the spring constant is the characteristics of the spring. Hooke's law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring by a specific distance is proportional to that distance.

Does the spring constant depend on applied force or elongation?
the relation between force (F) and elongation (x) is F = kx where k is the spring constant. The stiffer the spring, the higher the force needed to get a certain elongation; or, for a given force, the elongation will be less for a stiffer spring
Is spring constant same when contracting?
It depends on the type of spring, but for general purposes the spring constant of materials, as long as it is linear, is the same in extension and contracting.
What is spring constant of an elastic material?
Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.
What is the spring constant for a victor mousetrap?
Victor has changed their mousetraps and made their traps the same so they now have the same spring constant. The spring constant of all victor mousetraps are 3.52 N/m.
If length of spring is halved spring constant becomes?

Is the spring constant is constant on the moon?
no the spring constant is not constant on moon because there is no restoring force there
What is the characteristics of springs with large spring constant in hooke's law?
larger the spring constant of a spring, the more stiffer it is.
If a spring with spring constant k is cut into two equal parts what will be the spring constant of each part?
2k
What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum does not depend?
The time of a period doesn't depend on the mass of the Bob(that'll be a mass spring system) It also doesn't depend on Friction..
What is the spring constant of a spring?
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
What type of variables is return on investment?
This variable is not constant. Your return on investment can depend on how much you put into it, how much you make from it, and other factors.
Why does a large spring constant indicate a stiff spring?
It takes a larger force to compress or pull a spring the same distance as a spring with a smaller spring constant. This is shown in Hooke's law. x=F/k k---is the spring constant F---is the force applied to the spring x is the distance the spring has been compressed
