Question: `qquery predictions

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

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: Data obtained from elastic devices tend to distort the greater the spring is stretched, so it is likely that the spring will stretch more and more with weight added.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

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.

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? **

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 #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution:

** Many students find the Linked Outline very helpful. **

Question: `qQuery Add comments on any surprises or insights you experienced as a result of this assignment.

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.

Right.

Unlike the rubber band, which gets significantly thinner as it stretches, the spring uncoils and doesn't get thinner.

If you stretch the spring far enough, though, it will distort and the force will become nonlinear.
