Question

the mass of the puck is difficult to measure because it sublimates and looses mass over time. can this explain the difference between the spring constants you found in part 1 and part 2? give your answer as a cer.

Answer 1

The spring stiffness is quantified by the spring constant, or k. For various springs and materials, it varies. The stiffer the spring is and the harder it is to stretch, the larger the spring constant.

F = -kx. The term "spring constant" refers to the proportional constant k. It gauges the stiffness of the spring. A spring exerts a force F = -kx in the direction of its equilibrium position when it is stretched or compressed to a length that differs by an amount x from its equilibrium length. A large value of k indicates that more force is needed to stretch it a given distance than would be necessary to stretch a less stiff spring the same distance.
