Question

what happens to the displacement vector when the spring constant has a higher value and the applied force remains constant? It remains the same it increases magnitude it changes direction it decreases magnitude

Answer 1

1. Which example best describes a restoring force?

B) the force applied to restore a spring to its original length

2. A spring is compressed, resulting in its displacement to the right. What happens to the spring when it is released?

C) The spring exerts a restoring force to the left and returns to its equilibrium position.

3. A 2-N force is applied to a spring, and there is displacement of 0.4 m. How much would the spring be displaced if a 5-N force was applied?

D) 1 m

4. Hooke’s law is described mathematically using the formula Fsp=−kx. Which statement is correct about the spring force, Fsp?

D)It is a vector quantity.

5. What happens to the displacement vector when the spring constant has a higher value and the applied force remains constant?

A) It decreases in magnatude.
