1. Which example best describes a restoring force?
B) the force applied to restore a spring to its original length
2. A spring is compressed, resulting in its displacement to the right. What happens to the spring when it is released?
C) The spring exerts a restoring force to the left and returns to its equilibrium position.
3. A 2-N force is applied to a spring, and there is displacement of 0.4 m. How much would the spring be displaced if a 5-N force was applied?
D) 1 m
4. Hooke’s law is described mathematically using the formula Fsp=−kx. Which statement is correct about the spring force, Fsp?
D)It is a vector quantity.
5. What happens to the displacement vector when the spring constant has a higher value and the applied force remains constant?
A) It decreases in magnatude.
