    This document provides instructions for using an online simulation of Hooke's law and springs. It then asks 5 questions about Hooke's law and how changing different variables affects elastic potential energy. The questions cover the work formula for Hooke's law, when elastic potential energy is zero, how displacement and spring constant impact elastic potential energy, and why cutting a spring in half increases its spring constant.

    Hooke’s Law Simulation

    • Press the play button on the simulation. If that does not work press the button that says EMBED.

    Do not download the simulation.

    • Choose the energy option when given the choice. Keep the graph on the bar graph setting.

    • Play around with the spring constant.

    1. What is the formula for Hooke’s Law when looking for work? What is the equation for work with

    no angle?

    2. When is elastic potential energy zero?

    3. How does the displacement affect the elastic potential energy?

    4. How does the spring constant affect the elastic potential energy?

    5. Knowing all this, it is a fun bit of knowledge that if you cut a spring in half, the spring constant

    will increase. Can you explain this?
