** PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURE THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE QUESTION. THANK YOU***

The graph shows data for three springs.The vertical axis shows the force applied to each spring, while the horizontal axis axis shows the stretch of the spring in response to the force.

Answer the following about the picture:

1. Given a numerical scale for each axis,how could you use the graph to determine the spring constant for each spring?

2. Which Spring has the highest spring constant? A? B? or C?

3. Based on everyday observations of spring-like motion, if you were to place a 100 gram mass on the end of each spring (a through c) and stretch each spring the same amount and then release it,which spring do you think would oscillate at the highest rate? A? B? or C?

Explanation / Answer

1. Slope of the line

2. highest slope means higest spring constant

so A

3) so w = sqrt(k/m)
so bigger k means bigger w

so A
