  • 3. 

    What is Hooke's law?

    • A law that states the relationship between force and displacement in a spring.

    • A law that states the relationship between force and acceleration in a spring.

    • A law that states the relationship between mass and displacement in a spring.

    • A law that states the relationship between mass and acceleration in a spring.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the mathematical representation of Hooke's law?

    • F = k / x

    • F = - k * x

    • F = k + x

    • F = k - x

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the SI unit of the spring constant?

    • Newton (N)

    • Meter (m)

    • Kilogram (kg)

    • Newton per meter (N/m)

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What happens to the displacement of a spring when no force is applied?

    • It remains constant.

    • It decreases.

    • It increases.

    • It depends on the elasticity of the spring material.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the relationship between the spring constant and the stiffness of a spring?

    • They are unrelated

    • Higher spring constant means higher stiffness

    • Higher spring constant means lower stiffness

    • There is an inverse relationship between the two

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If the spring constant of a spring is known, can the force applied to the spring be calculated?

    • Yes, using F = - k * x

    • Yes, using F = x / k

    • No, the force cannot be calculated using the spring constant

    • Yes, using F = m * a

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How is the spring constant determined experimentally?

    • By measuring the mass of the spring

    • By measuring the displacement of the spring

    • By measuring the force applied to the spring

    • By measuring the temperature of the spring

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which parameter does Hooke's Law directly relate to the stiffness of a spring?

    • Mass

    • Displacement

    • Force

    • Time
