Luke attached a 100g weight to a spring and measured its length. He then added more weights. Which graph correctly shows the relationship between the mass added and the EXTENSION of the spring?
Show Worked Solution
Worked Solution
Step 1: Extension is the increase in length (Total Length - Original Length).
Step 2: According to Hooke's Law, extension is directly proportional to the force (mass) applied.
Step 3: This results in a straight line starting at (0,0).
Correct answer: A straight line passing through the origin
