Elastic force Flashcards
1
Q
What is the elastic formula or Hooke’s law
A
Force = Constant (N/m) × Extension
2
Q

A
The extension of the spring
3
Q
Does Hooke’s law apply to rubber bands?
A
Hooke’s law only applies to SPRING
4
Q
value of the graph
A
a graph of extension against weight
5
Q
Variable
A
independent variable = load added; dependent variable = extension; control = spring
6
Q
How to calculate spring constant on graph
A
sc = change in weight/change in extension
