Question: `qquery predictions

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

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

As weight is added to the spring, the spring will stretch at a fast rate. This to me is a linear graph.

@&

The change can be fast without the rate being linear. For example it could start fast and keep getting faster. Or it could start very fast and slow to just plain fast without getting any slower.

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):

Spring stretched too far, it will lose it’s it elasticity and will deviate from linearity.

Question: `qcomment on how the actual graph of the data compared with your prediction

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

I predicted that as weight was added to the rubber band, spring, that the spring would stretch farther and farther each time, making a linear graph. The actual graph resembled my prediction, however after a large amount of weight was added, it stretched rather far, giving a slight curve at the top of the line.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

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

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

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:

I really liked the Linked Outline. This is a good study guide, and I really liked the fact that it basically sums it up and makes it easier for studying and to look back on if something is forgotten. I have printed this off to use for quick reference if need be.

** 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 thought the rubber band experiment was pretty neat. I was just afraid I’d break the rubber band and it would smack me in the face! HAHA! Thank you for the linked outline, that is extremely helpful!

@&

There is a degree of hazard associated with rubber bands.

I'm glad you like the linked outline.
