... found F I can use this to work out k: k = F/e k = 0.4905 / 0.085 k = 5.77 (3sf) The spring constant in this case is 5.77. Using k I could predict the extension of this spring if the weight suspended ...

... I also predict that each time the rubber band is stretched it will be slightly longer then it was previously. This is because rubber is a polymer, which has a very tangled structure. It looks like this: - Every time it ...

... its shape when the external forces are removed. What is Hookes Law? Hokes Law is a rule for a spring, 'For a spring-that for a helical spring or other elastic material the extension is directly proportional to the applied force provided the elastic ...

... sources of light, A, B have exactly the same wavelength and amplitude of vibration, and that their vibration are always in phase with each other, fig.1. The two sources A and B are therefore coherent sources. fig.1 Their combined effect ...

... me that thickness of the plastic can affect the strength, as a plastic carrier bag is not as strong as a plastic bucket. I also no that there are two types of polythene: High density, which is rigid and hard, ...

... savage waves. The intensity of both storms were similar also, in the case of the Australian storm reports from satellite images and competitors revealing average winds of 120 kph, with the strongest being 171 kph. The average wave height was recorded ...

... just went straight to the floor. On the basis of what I have tried out I decided to use a 5mm diameter for the coil and 10g masses. Method .Set up equipment as shown in diagram. .Make five Nichrome springs with a 20swg, ...

... in a table. I will continue to do the tests until the spring will not return to its original shape. To make the tests fair I will use the same spring and set of weights each time. Also I will ...

... described as an oscillator. Simple examples are a mass on the end of a vertical spring, a pendulum, or a trolley tethered between two springs (A trolley oscillator). The amplitude of an oscillation is the maximum displacement of the system ...

... ray of light enters a medium at a certain angle, it is forced to bend because of the change in density in the new medium and thus, a change in obstruction. The ray will have to deviate from its original ...

... stored in a spring 1/2 x force x compression. The force and the compression on the spring in this toy will always be the same, more or less. This energy stored in the spring will be equal to the toy's ...

... if the resulting extension or spring length of the spring sets are graphed along a y axis with the increasing force mapped to the x axis (so that the results can be displayed in a traditional scientific graph fashion), the ...

... it could cope with a heavy load due to the thickness of the top half. The two bands in parallel connected to the two bands in parallel will be both sensitive and strong. This would make the best device. Hypothesis Hookes Law ...

... of weights. 3. Using longer springs and different weights and timing a fixed number of bounces for each trial. Out of these three variables, I wish to choose the first due to that it seems to give out a bigger variety of ...

... is linearly dependent on its extension, ?x. Hooke's law states that to extend a spring by an amount ?x, one needs a force, which is determined by the equation F = k?x. The spring constant, k, is a quality particular ...

... Potential energy. To work out the kinetic energy: K.E = 1/2 mv2 This is the energy gained by the mass after releasing it on the extended spring. So therefore: 1/2 mv2 = maX 1/2 mass x velocity2 = mass x acceleration x extension (distance) The ...

... overhead power cables near their homes has affected their health. Microwaves Microwaves are basically extremely high frequency radio waves, and are made by various types of transmitter. In a mobile phone, they're made by a transmitter chip and an antenna, in a ...

... transportation business. Radio waves can also be used to provide communication on construction sites. ? In Science - radio waves from outside the earth are detected using in radio telescopes. Radio waves are picked up when they hit the antenna of ...

... shorter a wavelength is the higher amount of energy it contains. This is why UV light from the sun can damage your skin. X-rays are also very high-energy waves and can be dangerous when exposed to them for long periods ...

... of oscillations, for every mass as similar to each other as possible. To help keep the experiment fair. So to find ms and k the following experiment was devised and carried out: A clamp and stand were used to hold a ...

... mass to the bottom of the spring and measure the displacement. Place a pointer 10cm under the new length of the spring. Pull the spring down to the pointer and time how long it takes for the spring to oscillate ...

... tattered beggars on the roadside; emaciated and shaggy crows, gaunt with hunger, were greedily tearing up the grass along the ditches. They looked as if they had just been snatched from the murderous talons of some terrifying monster; and the ...
