    This document discusses a student experimenting with hanging weights from a spring to observe its extension. 1) When Hooke's law is followed, the graph of extension vs. force is a straight line. The student's data shows that with weights of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.5 N, the spring extended 5, 10, 15, and 25 mm respectively. 2) The table cannot accurately predict the extension of a 200 N weight because: 1) The weights in the table do not go up that high so it is outside the measured data range. 2) At high weights, the spring may not obey Hooke's law in a linear fashion anymore. 3)

    2. A student hangs weights from a spring and notes the extension.

    (a) The weight produces a force within the spring.

    Use a word from the box to complete the sentence.

    curved horizontal straight vertical

    When Hooke’s Law is obeyed, the graph of extension against force is

    a ......................................... line.
    (1)

    (b) Some of the student’s results are shown below.

    Weight / N 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5

    Extension / mm 0 5 10 20 25

    Predict the value of the extension, in mm, when the weight is 0.3 N.

    Extension = .............................................. mm
    (1)

    (c) Another student wanted to use the table of results in part (b) to predict the extension
    of the spring when a weight of 200 N is hung from it.

    Give two reasons why the table cannot be used to predict the extension in this case.

    (d) The graph shows the force-extension graph obtained from another experiment.

    Extension

    (i) How can you tell that this experiment did not involve a spring?
