#$&* course Mth 163 Question: `qquery predictions
.............................................
Given Solution: STUDENT RESPONSE: I predict that the spring will stretch at a greater rate as the weight is added. In my experience, springs lose their strength as they are stretched, and will not go back to their original shape. INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: ** Within their range of elasticity the graph is very nearly linear. If stretched too far the spring will lose its permanent elastic properties and will then deviate from linearity ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): From the notes we see that the spring does stretch in a linear fashion up to a point. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qcomment on how the actual graph of the data compared with your prediction YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The graph turned out to be linear, but had we continued stretching we would have reached a point where the spring’s shape became distorted would lose its ability to give linear data. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: ** If you predicted a linear graph then did the actual graph confirm this? If you predicted a curvature did the actual graph confirm this? ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qquery linked outline discuss your experience with the Linked Outline. Did you find it helpful? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The linked outline offered a condensed outline of all the importing things we need to know for the course. It wouldn’t do me much good if I hadn’t already obtained a detailed overview of the subject matter, but for the things we’ve already covered it is a great review. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had not expected the spring to give a linear graph, had we used something weaker like a rubber band it wouldn’t have worked out. This might tell us something about a perfectly elastic material and its capabilities. "" " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating:
