Discover the phenomena of springs and Hooke's Law. Explore how force applied to a spring results in compression or elongation, and how this relationship is linear. Uncover the concept …

Learn about the force exerted by a spring. Model and predict spring forces using Hooke's law.

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for spring potential energy and Hooke's law. Understand how to analyze a spring force vs. displacement graph.

Learn about the force required to compress a spring, and the work done in the process, and how this relates to Hooke's Law, which defines the restorative force of a spring.

Now the spring force is less than the force of gravity and so gravity wins in that case and it keeps going back and forth. We're gonna ask ourselves the same question we did before.

In many problems it is necessary to take into account the direction of the force due to a spring. Because the force is in the opposite direction to the direction of extension, a negative sign is …

The force of a spring is calculated according to Hooke’s law, named for Robert Hooke, a British physicist who developed the formula in 1660. Hooke originally stated the law in Latin: "Ut …

Learn what affects the period of a mass on a spring (mass and spring constant), and what doesn't affect the period of a mass on a spring (amplitude and gravitational acceleration).

Overview of key terms, equations, and skills for the simple harmonic motion of spring-mass systems, including comparing vertical and horizontal springs.
