Hooke's law
What this topic asks you to be able to do
- apply Hooke’s law as a model connecting the force generated by an elastic string or spring with how far it is stretched or compressed, and know what the term modulus of elasticity means
- apply the formula that gives a string's or a spring's elastic potential energy
- solve problems about the forces that elastic strings or springs exert, including ones where work and energy have to be taken into account
