Question

in a classroom experiment student were asked to place one paper clip in each hands they were then instructed to add paper clip to the left hand until they were certain that the clips in the left hand weighted more than the paper clip in the right hand the class average was seven paper clips before a difference in weight was observed student were then asked to follow the same procedure with psychology text books the instructor is demonstrating

Answer 1

i dont really know what the question is but the reason it is seven is that humans are terrible at weighing objects and arent precise like a scale in any way

Answer 2

The classroom experiment and take-home activities are practical demonstrations of force and perception by using paper clips and rubber bands to explore Hooke's Law and the relationship between force and stretch.

The student's classroom experiment deals with the perception of force and weight differences between the left and right hands using paper clips. This experiment is an example of force standards, illustrating how individuals perceive weight and the force needed to determine a difference. Later, the students performed a similar experiment with psychology textbooks, which likely served to show the difference in perception of heavier objects.

In the Take-Home Experiment, students can discover the relationship between the number of items attached to a rubber band and the amount of stretch it undergoes. This experiment is tied to Hooke's Law, which describes the directly proportional relationship between the force applied to a spring and the extension, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. Students can also study how multiple forces, like pulling the weights to the side with a pencil, affect the stretch of the rubber band.
