Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. Show all your work for calculation problems.

1. State Hooke's Law in words and as a mathematical equation. Explain the meaning of each variable in the equation.

2. Which of the following statements is true regarding spring potential energy?

a

It is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring.

b

It is inversely proportional to the square of the spring constant.

c

It is proportional to the square of the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.

d

It is always negative.

3. The constant 'k' in Hooke's Law represents the   of the spring.

4. When a spring is compressed or stretched, it stores   energy.

Spring Compressed And Stretched

5. A spring has a spring constant of 250 N/m. If it is stretched by 0.15 m from its equilibrium position, calculate the force required to stretch it and the potential energy stored in the spring.

6. Doubling the displacement of a spring will double the spring potential energy stored.
