There are different ways to investigate the relationship between force and extension for a spring. In this practical activity it is important to: measure and record length accurately measure and ...

The elastic potential energy stored can be calculated using the equation: A spring has a spring constant, k, of 3 N/m. It is stretched until it is extended by 50 cm. Calculate the elastic potential ...

In fact, a bow and arrow technically counts as our first example of springs over 60,000 years ago. Fast forward to the 1600s, where Robert Hooke came up with a simple formula for ...
