Question 4
Experiment IV. Base your answers to questions 42 through 44 on the diagrams and data table below.
The diagrams show the REST POINT and STRETCHED positions, with a centimeter ruler and an attached mass labeled 100 g. The original drawing duplicates the letter “g”; this is preserved in the panel.
|Attached mass (g)|Distance spring is stretched (cm)|
|---|---|
|100|3|
|200|6|
|300|9|
|400|12|
|500|15|
|1000|30|
42. State the relationship between the mass attached to the end of the spring and the length the spring is stretched. (3 points)
43. Predict how many centimeters the spring will stretch if a total mass of 700 grams were attached. (3 points)
44. What mass would be needed to stretch the spring to a length of 60 cm? (4 points)
The source phrase “length of 60 cm” is retained. The table and key treat this as extension, which differs from total spring length.
