05 Laboratory Experiment 1 - Moreno

This document provides instructions for a physics laboratory experiment on springs. It instructs the student to open the lab simulation, set up the experiment with specific gravity, damping, spring constant, and mass values. It then provides the equations needed to determine the spring constant using Hooke's Law, and works through an example calculation to find the spring constant is 6.90 N/m. The student is asked to take a screenshot of the experiment setup and include it in their laboratory report.

05 Laboratory Experiment 1
This is where you will submit your laboratory experiment by performing the following:

1. Open the "Lab" section of the simulation.

2. Set the following values before performing the experiment:

1. Gravity constant: Earth (9.8 m/s2)


2. Damping: None
3. Spring constant: Large
4. Mass of the Orange weight: 162 g

3. Determine the value of the "Large" spring constant value. You can use the following
equations in solving this:

1. Spring Kinetic Energy


2. Hooke's Law
3. Spring Potential Energy

To determine the constant value of a “Large” Spring, we use this Hooke’s Equation in
solving.

Hooke’s Law Formula: � = − ��


We find the constant value of the spring so we use this formula:

K =− F/x .

Given:

g = 9.8m/s²
m = 162g or 0.162kg,
x = 23cm or 0.23m,
F= ?
k=?

Formula to get Force:


F = mg
= (0.162kg)(9.8m/s²) = 1.5876N

Proceed to find the value of Spring Constant:

k =− F/x
= − 1.5876/0.23
= 6.90260869565 or 6.90N/m
4. Provide a screenshot of the setup along with your Laboratory Report.
