Question

18. In the experiment of Hooke's Law and Simple Harmonic Motion, different masses (and hence different weights, F) were placed on the hanger connected to a spring, and corresponding elongations (x) from equilibrium position were measured. The spring constant (k) was obtained from the Hooke's Law (for applied force) F = kx. If the spring were compressed (instead of elongated) and applied forces and corresponding compression amounts were used to calculate k, then (a) The k from compression data will be higher than that from elongation data. (b) The k from compression data will be lower than that from elongation data. (c) The k from compression data will be the same as that from elongation data. (d) The k from compression data may be higher or lower than that from elongation data depending on the toughness (strength) of the spring. (e) Additional information is required to answer this question. 19. The applied force was calculated as the weight of total mass (mass kept on the hanger + mass of the hanger + mass of the spring). Value of k was calculated as the slope of the best-fit straight line relationship between force and elongation. If mass of the spring was not added in the total mass, the calculated k (a) will be the same as before (b) will be higher than before (c) will be lower than before (d) may be higher or lower of stay the same depending on the toughness of the spring. (e) None of the above. 20. The function of the Lab Pro unit (the unit with which you connected all the sensors) that connects the sensors with the computer (a) Measures the quantities (e.g., velocity, acceleration etc.) (b) Transfers the information collected by the sensors (e.g., motion detector) to the computer for the purpose of displaying the information in readable format. (c) Is not needed at all because the stand alone sensors can do all of these. (d) Only (a) and (c) are correct. (e) None of the above.
