Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability.
1. What type of energy is stored in a stretched or compressed spring?
Kinetic Energy
Chemical Energy
Potential Energy
Thermal Energy
2. Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to its .
mass
length
displacement
temperature
3. The constant of proportionality in Hooke's Law is known as the spring .
4. When a spring is stretched or compressed, it stores energy, which can be converted into kinetic energy.
5. Observe the image below. Describe what happens to the potential energy stored in the spring as it is compressed and then released.
6. Give an example of a real-world object that uses spring potential energy.
7. A stiffer spring will have a smaller spring constant (k) than a less stiff spring.
True
False
8. According to Hooke's Law, if you double the distance a spring is stretched, the force required will also double.
True
False
