Fig. 1.1 shows how the length of a spring varies as the force applied to it increases.
Determine the length of the unstretched spring.
length = ______
Explain how the graph shows that the limit of proportionality is not reached.
The spring is attached to a mass M of 0.20 kg and placed on a frictionless surface, as shown in Fig. 1.2.
The apparatus is placed on the floor of a car.
When the car accelerates uniformly in the direction shown, the spring extends.
State what is meant by a uniform acceleration.
The extension of the spring is 9.0 cm.
Using Fig. 1.1, determine
the horizontal force on M,
force = ______
the acceleration of M.
acceleration = ______
