The larger the mass attached to the spring the (smaller/larger) the extension

1. Smaller
2. Larger

The larger the mass the (smaller/larger) the force of gravity

1. Smaller
2. Larger

How do you calculate the force of gravity? (if m in kg)

1. Fg= m / 9.8
2. Fg = m
3. Fg = m * 9.8
4. Fg= 9.8 / m

In equilibrium, when the spring doesn’t vibrate, the Force of Gravity is larger than/equal to/ smaller than the Spring Force

1. Larger than
2. Equal to
3. Smaller than

A stiff spring has a high/low spring constant

1. high
2. low

A force of 20 N is applied to a spring with a spring constant of 3.2 N/cm
Caculate the extension of the spring

Which spring (C or D) is the softest?

1. Spring C
2. Spring D
