3.
A 'stiff' spring is one that has:
A.
Small k — compresses easily under small force
B.
Large k — requires large force for unit extension
C.
Negative k — force in direction of stretch
D.
k = 0 — no restoring force
😑 View Answer Error
ANSWER :
B. Large k — requires large force for unit extension
4.
The spring force on a block attached to a spring when the spring is COMPRESSED (x < 0) is:
A.
Negative — spring pulls the block inward
B.
Zero — no force at compression
C.
Positive — spring pushes the block outward toward equilibrium
D.
Depends on the speed of compression
😑 View Answer Error
ANSWER :
C. Positive — spring pushes the block outward toward equilibrium
5.
For a stretched spring (x > 0), the work done BY the spring force as the block moves from 0 to xm is:
A.
Positive — spring aids the extension
B.
Zero — no displacement
C.
Negative — spring force opposes extension
D.
Depends on the spring constant
😑 View Answer Error
ANSWER :
C. Negative — spring force opposes extension
6.
