Question:
- Based on the data collected, what are the independent variable and the dependent variable in this experiment? (independent is compression and dependent is the height i think)
- Identify if the relationship between the variables is linear or not linear. How did you determine this? (non-linear, since the height does not increase at a constant rate like the compression does i think)
- Calculate the spring constant for each trial. Record it in the table above but show your work for at least one trial here. ????
- Compare your calculations for spring constant to each other. Explain the reason for the pattern. ????
- What kind of graph would you need to plot to form a linear relationship among the variables in this experiment. Identify the labels for the x- and y-axes. ????
Trial | Mass, (g) | Compression, (cm) | Height, (cm) | Spring Constant,(N/m) |
1 | 2 | 2.5 | 19.5 | |
2 | 2 | 3.0 | 28.1 | |
3 | 2 | 3.5 | 38.4 | |
4 | 2 | 4.0 | 50.0 | |
5 | 3 | 2.5 | 13.0 | |
6 | 3 | 3.0 | 18.8 | |
7 | 3 | 3.5 | 25.6 | |
8 | 3 | 4.0 | 33.3 |
