1R10.10 Stretching A Spring

Hang weights on spring to vary stretch. Demonstrate stretch proportional to force (weight) for a given spring (Hooke's Law).

Setup Requirements: Assembled as neeeded.

Equations: Hooke's Law F(spring) = -kx

Safety Issues: none

1R40.30 Coefficient of Restitution

Bounce/No Bounce: Balls look the same. One bounces. One does not. Use when talking about coefficient of restitution or energy conversion (PE>KE> heat and sound).

Setup Requirements: Off the Shelf

Equations: N/A

Safety Issues: Being hit by bouncing ball.
