PHYSICS XI SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION ( Hooke´s law)

Teacher Jesed De Arco
1. If a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?
(Answer = 0.1 N)

2. If a spring has a spring constant of 0.5 N/m and it is stretched 0.5 m, what is the force of the spring?
(Answer = 0.25 N)

3. A spring is stretched 6 cm when a mass of 200 g is hung on it. Calculate the spring constant of this
spring. (Answer = 32.67 N/m)

4. If you use the spring from problem #3 and hang a 500 g mass on it, how far will it stretch? Convert
your answer to cm. (Answer = 15 cm)

5. A spring with a spring constant of 400 N/m has a mass hung on it so that it stretches 8 cm. Calculate
how much mass the spring is supporting. (Answer = 3.3 kg)

6. A spring is extended by 18 cm by a force of 90 N. Calculate the spring constant for this spring.
