hookes law

Question 1

what is hookes law?

Answer 1

the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied, up to the limit of proportionality

Question 2

an elastic object will…..

Answer 2

return to its original shape when stretched

Question 3

what is elastic deformation?

Answer 3

an elastic object will return to its original shape when stretched

Question 4

what are some examples of elastic objects that obey hookes law?

Answer 4

rubber/ elastic bands

Question 5

what does plastic experience?

Answer 5

inelastic deformation- it won’t stretch it will just break

Question 6

what is the limit of proportionality (elastic limit)?

Answer 6

force and extension are no longer proportional to eachother and the material will not return to its original shape- its permanently deformed

Question 7

what is the formula for hookes law?

Answer 7

F= kx

Question 8

what equipment is required for the hookes law practical?

Answer 8

clamp and stand, ruler, spring/rubber band, 5x100g masses, 100g mass hanger, pointer, tape marker, pulley, g-clamp and wooden blocks

Question 9

what is the independent and dependant variable in the hookes law practical?

Answer 9

iv- force
dv- extension
