attached to the end of a spring, with the
block free to move on a frictionless,
horizontal surface . When the spring is
neither stretched nor compressed, the
block is at rest at the position called the
equilibrium position of the system, which
we identify as x = 0. We know from Picture 2. Tools
experience that such a system oscillates
back and forth if disturbed from its
equilibrium position. We can understand
the oscillating motion of the block in Figure
1 qualitatively by first recalling that when
the block is displaced to a position x, the
spring exerts on the block a force that is cm and then release. Calculate the time

The two graphs above use 300 grams of
mass and oscillate 5 times. Seen in the graph
that the elasticity constant of a material
depends on the period produced by the
material. The larger the period, the smaller
elasticity of the material, otherwise, the
smaller the period produced by the material,
the greater the elasticity constant.
It can be concluded that the smaller
elasticity of the material, the more elastic the
material, otherwise the greater the elasticity
of the material, the harder the material will be.
In the graphs, it can be seen that “karet
pentil” has the greatest elasticity constant
among the other materials. While the spring
has the smallest elastic constant so that from
the four materials, the most elastic material is
a spring. We often see springs used in some
vehicles to reduce shocks that occur due to
the nature of their elasticity.
The elasticity constant in a circuit
depends on the circuit, if in series, then the

while in parallel circuits the replacemenet

We also make comparisons using a
tracker so that the time needed for an object
to oscillate is more precise. Here we take
samples on "elastic" A material with a mass
of 300grams. In the manual calculation, we
get t = 3.44 while in tracker we get t = 3.68
with the graph below.
E. CONCLUSION
1. The smaller the period that is
produced, the greater the elasticity
constants, and vice versa.
2. The elasticity constant indicates
whether the object's properties are
elastic or not
3. The smaller elasticity constant, the
more elastic material will be.
4. Tracker makes it easy to find precise
data in a lab.
