Obs. and Conc

The researchers conducted an experiment on Hooke's Law of Elasticity using different materials like a spring, stand, meter stick, and weights. They measured the spring's displacement and elongation as they added more weights, up to ten trials. Hooke's Law states that the force needed to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the displacement. The experiment showed the spring returned to its equilibrium position after removing weights, indicating it was not at full stretch. The conclusion is that a stiffer spring requires more force to stretch and the spring's elongation increases proportionally to the applied force.

OBSERVATION:

The researchers conducted a study on the Hooke’s Law of Elasticity using different materials
such as cylindrical spring, vertical stand, meter stick, and set of weights. Before starting the
experiment the researchers tested the spring if it’s elongates when a force is added using the
sets of weights( 50-100g), after a series of test we started the experiment wherein we installed
the measuring tape and measuring the spring to its equilibrium position, after, we added a 100g
weights, we determine the scale reading of the spring and the displacement, as we added more
weights to the spring the displacement also increases as well as the elongation of the spring.
We stop the experiment after coming up with ten trials.
The experiment shows that the spring returns to its equilibrium position after the weights is
removed which indicate that the elasticity of the spring is not on its full stretch or in other
words the amplitude.

CONCLUSION:
TLO 6:
Hooke’s Law is one of the fundamental principles in physics it describes the behavior of
elasticity wherein it states that a force is needed to stretch or compress a material as it is
directly proportional to the displacement. According to the Hooke’s Law, when a force is applied
for example on a spring, it will move to a certain displacement from its equilibrium position so if
you increase force the displacement also increases. Hooke’s Law stated that the
extension/compression of a spring is proportional to the applied force and not to the spring
itself.
The formula is F=kx, where F is the force, needed to extend or compress a spring at a distance
(x) and k is the spring constant. The x is also the displacement and k is the equilibrium position.

TLO 7:
We came up with the conclusion based on the experiment that the elongation of the sprint
depends on the stiffness of the spring because when a spring is stiff it requires more force for it
to stretch or compress, so if a force is applied the spring increases the elongation of the spring
also increases as it is directly proportional to the force and a spring can return to its original
state or to its equilibrium position after the force is released. After a series of 10 trials the Force
Constant(k) in the Table 3.1 where the weights are added the average is 34.2480 N/m, and in
Table 3.2 where the weights are removed the average is 33.683 N/m.
