Hooke's Law I have designed the experiment to measure spring constants when the springs are in series and in parallel. The theory is based on Hooke's law which is: F = kx where F = Force, k = Constant and x = Extension [Ref. 1]. Unfortunately with the springs I have, I can only measure extension, not compression for which Hooke's is also valid. Prediction Single Spring: Hooke's law, where F = kx. I predict that I if I plot Force on the Y axis and extension, x, on the X axis
Hooke's Law Investigation Introduction - Hooke's Law is when forces are applied to a solid object and it can result in extension or compression. Hooke's Law is able to predict how a spring (or other stretchable object) would behave when force is applied to it. I am trying to find out what factors effect the stretching of a spring. The variables are: Ÿ Downward force applied to spring. Ÿ Spring material. Ÿ Length of spring. Ÿ No. of coils in spring. Ÿ Diameter of spring
of the force is directly proportional to the amount of stretch or compression of the spring. Law of elasticity is known as Hooke’s law, showing the relationship between the forces applied to a spring and its elasticity, which states that relationship between small deformation of the object and the displacement or size are directly proportional to loading and the deforming force. According to Hooke’s law, elastic behaviour of solids could explain by the fact that in component ions, molecules, or atoms
as in-determinate systems are the ones that do not enable us to calculate all the unknowns by the three equations of equilibrium. 2: Hooke’s Law, Poisson’s Ratio and Modulus of rigidity. Hooke’s law, Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus (modulus of rigidity) all share a common bond. They are considered to be individually the same for a specific material. hooke’s law is formulated as F=kx; Poisson’s ratio is formulated as = (lateral strain / axial strain) and shear modulus is formulated as G= E/(2(1+"
it Stretches To Aim In this coursework I will be investigating the effect of applying weight to an elastic band and how much this affects the length it stretches to. This will also involve the use of Hooke’s Law and the Simple Harmonic Motion. I will do in-depth research on Hooke’s Law and how the force applied affects the change in length of a material. The apparatus I will be using is listed below: 1. Retort Stand – I will connect this to the clamp 2. Clamp – I will use this with
mass applies on the spring will cause the spring to extend. We know from Hooke's law that the force exerted by the masses attached to the spring will be proportional to the amount the spring extends. F = kx When additional downward force is applied to the spring we can cause additional tension in the spring which, when released, causes the system to oscillate about a fixed equilibrium point. This is related to the law of conservation of energy. The stain energy in the spring is released as
approximately 90g. I predict that the deflection of the spaghetti bridge will increase proportionally to the mass applied. I believe this because spaghetti is an elastic material (it will return to its original shape when a force is applied) and Hooke's law states that for elastic substances the extension (deflection) is directly proportional to the stretching force (mass applied). However, all materials have an elastic limit (when too much mass is applied then it will no longer return to its original
Average Spring Constant and Uncertainty of the Batch Outline plan ============ I have been given 3 springs to which I will add different weight. Using the value of extension (Δx) I will calculate the spring constant. Hooke's Law says that the stretch of a spring from its rest position is linearly proportional to the applied force (stress is proportional to strain). Symbolically, F = kΔx Where F stands for the applied force, x is the amount of stretch (found by new length minus
Hypothesis ---------- Hooke's Law states that "The magnitude of the spring constant (k) is equal to the stretching force applied (F) divided by the resultant extension (x)", it should be possible to determine a spring constant for each spring set. Due to existing knowledge of springs I propose that the series spring set will have a lower spring constant (and hence due to Hooke's Law display a greater extension) than the parallel spring set. Also, as Hooke's Law is a linear function, the
weight, as we are using the same type of weights. Hooke's Law: * Hooke's law states that the extension of a spring (or other stretch object) is directly proportional to the force acting on it. * This law is only true if the elastic limit of the object has not been reached. * If the elastic limit has been reached the object will not return to its original shape and may eventually break. If the experiment is correctly done, the law should show to be true. Prediction: I predict that
Investigating the Oscillations of a Mass on a Spring Aim: In this physics coursework, I'm here to investigate the oscillations of a mass of a spring. In this investigation, the oscillation means the wave moving with periodic regularity. In this investigation, I can use any mass and many springs, so that I can investigate the oscillations. Variables: I believe there are many factors or variables, which can affect the time for 1 oscillation. These can be: · Mass of weight - I believe
Mining is a necessary component of the world we live in and it has been practiced for thousands of years. The mining industry produces billions of tons of raw product every year. The process of mining is very complicated and involves plenty of physics! Two main components of the mine cycle are: Drilling, and Blasting. Some important factors in mining are the pillars, rock elasticity, and the slope stability of the ground being mined. A basic method for destroying rock is mechanically induced stress
different physical and gas laws that take place to allow it to happen. With Hooke’s law I will be discussing what it is, how it relates to respiratory care, and the medical advances it may include. Hooke’s law was named after the man that discovered it in 1660. Robert Hooke was a 17th century physicist who discovered the relationship between the forces applied to a spring and elasticity. He published his book in 1678 that included the description of his work. Hooke’s law states that any elastic body

Morals and Laws in Antigone A crucial question in Antigone is, "When someone makes a law that is known by the public to be morally wrong, should the public break his/her law? Or should they collaborate with that person by obeying? Antigone felt that the law (no one was supposed to bury her brother Polyneicies) should be broken so she took what she thought to be appropriate measures. This is called Civil Disobedience. Another question is "Is Civil Disobedience morally and ethically correct?"
Development of Abortion This essay traces the development of abortion law in English and American society up to the time of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Beginning with Biblical citations, the essay researches the Early Church Fathers on the issue; the American colonies; developments of the 1800's which caused change, and so on. Up to the time of the Protestant Reformation, the English society inherited its traditional anti-abortion law from the Church practice of 1500 years standing; which belief began
privilege to vote on laws that effect them. Why is the law concerning euthanasia any different? The opponents to euthanasia do not want the issue to go to the polls, because they are worried of the outcome. This is still no excuse to deny the right to vote to citizens. Surveys have been conducted throughout the US and it shows that sixty percent of Americans support euthanasia. Yet these opinions are not being recognized, because these opinions are not expressed in a vote. This law just as any other
Laws vs. Morals in Huck Finn "What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right." Whether he knows it or not, the character Huck Finn is a perfect example of the truth in this quote. His struggle between knowing in his mind and what is legal, but feeling in his heart what is moral was predominant throughout the novel. Today, we'll examine three examples of situations when Huck had to decide for himself whether to follow the law, or his heart. When the story begins
Line by Line Analysis of Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, The key word here is "two". Throughout our lives we constantly face decisions where we have two choices. Even when it seems there is only one choice, we can decide either to DO it, or NOT do it; so there are STILL two alternatives. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood Then there are times we wish we could do BOTH; HAVE our cake and eat it too! We know we can't
Factors Affecting Euthanasia In the September 4 issue of the British. medical journal The Lancet, Canadian researchers report on how dying patients' "will to live" is likely to show "substantial fluctuation" due to changes in both physical and mental factors. Dr. Harvey Chochinov of the University of Manitoba and his colleagues assessed the "will to live" twice daily in 168 mentally competent cancer patients admitted to palliative care, and correlated this with a variety of other factors. The
