Question

Answer the following questions, using the simulation: a. Determine the spring constant, k, of Spring 1, by using Hooke’s Law. Take three different measurements (since there are 3 masses), complete three calculations, and then average your k’s to get a more accurate answer. By applying lots of friction, you will be able to get your mass to hang still. Show a table of your data and your calculations of k. b. Determine the three unknown masses: Red, Green, and Gold. Use Hooke’s Law to determine the masses. Show all data and calculations. c. Explain the effect of mass on Hooke’s Law. d. Explain the effect of gravity on Hooke’s Law by checking out what happens in the four different locations, as well as when there is no gravity. e. Explain the effect of the spring constant, k, (stiffness of spring) on Hooke’s Law. f. Explain the effect of friction on Hooke’s Law.

Answer 1

At high noon, you can feel warm air coming from inland. During noon, especially in spring and summer, the radiation caused by the Sun warms the land surface more compared to the sea surface. This is because heat is directly applied on the land surface compared to the ocean.
