A group of students were asked to determine the spring constant. K of a spring.

Question

A group of students were asked to determine the spring constant. K of a spring. They did so by acquiring data for force vs distance the spring stretch ed. From the resulting plotted data they were able to determine the spring constant from? A. The y intercept B. The slope of the straight line C. The x intercept D. The area under the plotted line A group of students were asked to determine the spring constant. K of a spring. They did so by acquiring data for force vs distance the spring stretch ed.

The y intercept B. The slope of the straight line C. The x intercept D. The area under the plotted line

Explanation / Answer

1.B.slope of straight line.

for a spring .F=-kx

=> k = -F/x

so slope is the spring constant of aspring.
