Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Spring Constant Problem

Students must calculate the spring constant of a spring based on the oscillation graph that is created by an oscillating mass.

Students must find the value of the spring constant and the original length of a spring based on data that was collected from stretching a spring different amounts using a force probe.

Students must find the value of the spring constant and the original length of a spring based on data that was collected from hanging different masses on the end of a vertical spring.

Students will need to determine the spring constant of a spring that gave two dynamics cars their momenta.

Determine the decay constant and half-life of an isotope based on the activity data of the isotope as a function of time.

Students must find the spring constant of a spring based on the distance a projectile travels when fired by the spring.

In this program you will need to find the amplitude and frequency of an object oscillating on a spring. You will also use the frequency to find the spring constant of the spring based on the frequency.

Find the period and frequency of an object oscillating on a spring. You will do this by timing enough oscillations to minimize your error to a low value. You will also use the frequency to find the spring constant of the spring based on...

Students must find how much energy has been added to a spring by looking at the Force vs. Spring Length graph.

Students must find the time that it takes for the block to move across the table. This will involve an acceleration and a period of travel at a constant speed.
