AQA AS Physics Unit 2 -
Spring Constant and
Hookes Law
Equations
F = K x E
Force
Spring Constant (K)
Extension (In Meters)/Displacement/Delta L
What actually is Spring Constant?
Spring Constant is the Displacement of
the spring from it's normal position.
The spring constant is
representative to how stiff the
spring is.
The Stiffer the Spring, the higher the spring constant.
Some Facts
It is measured in nm (newton's per meter).
The same as hooks law but with springs
Graphing
Extension on X Axis
Force on Y Axis
The Gradient is the spring constant (k)
