Question 2 A) A spring is compressed, resulting in its displacement to the right. What happens to the spring when it is released? (1 point)
The spring exerts a restoring force to the right and compresses even further
The spring exerts a restoring force to the left and returns to its equilibrium position
The spring exerts a restoring force to the right and returns to its equilibrium position
The spring exerts a restoring force to the left and stretches beyond its equilibrium position

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.
