Which forces are acting when you stretch a spring?
The force you are exerting to stretch it, and the restoring force of the spring.
How is potential energy in a spring defined?
It can be defined as the work required to stretch or compress the string - the product of force times distance, as an integral, because the force is not constant.
What happens to a springs force if you stretch it more?
It may loose its elastic nature.
If a 5 N force causes a spring to stretch 6cm how far will a 15 N force cause the same spring to streach?
The spring will stretch 18 cm when a force of 15 N is applied. I have used the simple method of ratios and proportion.
What is also called elastic energy?
Elastic energy is also called Elastic Potential energy. It is the potential energy stored as a result of a deformation of an elastic object such as a spring. According to Hooke's law the force required to stretch the spring will be directly proportional to the amount of stretch.
What is the length of the spring when a weightof 10n hangs from it?
depends on the initial length of the spring, and how much force is required to stretch the spring
Which forces are acting when you stretch a spring?

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 force is used in force meters?
Newtonian force The amount of force is measured by its ability to stretch or compress a spring.

Elastic energy is also called Elastic Potential energy. It is the potential energy stored as a result of a deformation of an elastic object such as a spring. According to Hooke's law the force required to stretch the spring will be directly proportional to the amount of stretch.
What does the stretch of a spring scale measures?
When you pull on the scale you stretch the spring the pointer on the scales moves as you pull to measure the force you are using you have to be able to lift or pull on the spring scale
What happens to a spring's force if you stretch it?
It may loose its elastic nature.
Why is a spring a good force measurer for a newton meter?
Because over a certain limited range, a carefully manufactured and very expensive spring will stretch exactly in proportion to the magnitude of the force that's causing it to stretch, and the magnitude of the force can be accurately determined simply by observing and measuring the length of the stretch.
Does a spring stretch when a weight is added to it?
The stretch or compression of a spring is defined by Hooke's Law,where F is the Force acting on the spring,k is the constant spring factor, based on the material and construction of the spring.x is the displacement of the spring.The formula holds true until, or unless the force permanently deforms the spring material.
