Rushikesh Palodkar 10/10/22 PHY 133 L69 Saba Shalamberidze Hooke’s Law and Springs
Introduction: Using Hooke's law, we will determine the spring constant of two springs as part of the Spring Potential Energy lab. According to Hooke's law, which is a restoring force, the force required to extend or compress a spring is inversely correlated with how much the spring is stretched or compressed. Fs = − k Δx is the equation that expresses Hooke's law. U = (1/2) k (Δx) 2 . will be used to calculate the potential energy of the two springs as well. The spring constant, a spring attribute that effectively gauges the stiffness of the spring, is represented by the symbol k in the two equations for two variables. In this experiment, we'll figure out the smaller spring's potential energy and see if the energy is preserved following a collision. I believe that the energy will be preserved following the collision. Procedure: Part One: Finding the Mass of the iOlab Device: 1. Obtain the iOlab device and turn it on and plug it into your computer. 2. Attach the screw to the end of the device and turn the device so that the y-axis is pointing downwards. 3. Press the record, and then use the screw to lift the device, hold it steady for a few seconds, and then place it down again. 4. Use the data obtained to find the F g and g. 5. Use the equation F g = mg to find the mass of the device. Part Two: 1. Attach the screw to the iOlab device, and attach the screw to the force meter and the long spring to the screw 2. Allow the gadget to restore to equilibrium by extending the spring from the equilibrium. The spring should then be compressed while you observe its motion. 3. On a horizontal table, while holding onto the end of the spring, press record and roll the cart back and forth. Be careful not to compress the spring all the way. 4. Using the parametric plot option, find the spring constant. 5. Repeat this for a total of 3 trials. 6. Use the data obtained to calculate the mean μ and sigma of the spring Part Three: 1. Push the device into the fixed object. 2. Find the velocity before, the velocity after and the peak force. 3. Find the change in position. 4. Calculate the spring potential energy by multiplying the position change by the spring constant from section two. 5. Using the velocity before and the velocity after, find the kinetic energy of the device.

Results: iOlab Device Mass: Figure 3: This shows the information gleaned from Step 1 of the process, which was applied to determine the mass of the iOlab device. By analyzing these graphs, it was possible to determine the values of F g and g. For Long Spring:
