A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable (can be tested by someone through an experiment or measurements), leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a hypothesis that can be shown to fail), etc.
Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m
Formula:
![F = k*x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20k%2Ax)
Solving:
![F = k*x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20k%2Ax)
![F = 50*0.15](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%2050%2A0.15)
![\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%7B%5Cboxed%7BF%20%3D%207.5%5C%3AN%7D%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%7D%5Cqquad%5Cquad%5Ccheckmark)
Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m
Formula:
![E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bk%2Ax%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20)
Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
![E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bk%2Ax%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20)
![E = \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B50%2A0.15%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20)
![E = \frac{50*0.0225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B50%2A0.0225%7D%7B2%7D%20)
![E = \frac{1.125}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1.125%7D%7B2%7D%20)
