Question:  `qquery   predictions

Sketch your graph representing the predicted height of the low end vs. the weight on the spring.

Your solution: 

Confidence Assessment:

Given Solution: 

STUDENT RESPONSE: 

I predict that the spring will stretch at a greater rate as the weight is added.  In my experience, springs lose their strength as they are stretched, and will not go back to their original shape.

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT:

** Within their range of elasticity the graph is very nearly linear.  

If stretched too far the spring will lose its permanent elastic properties and will then deviate from linearity **
