What is the spring constant for the spring in the graph? Will give medal! See my reply post for graph!
See attached file for graph.
im not sure how to do this but I will try to get someone over here to help you :))

So, if this were just a line, what would its basic equation of a line look like |dw:1384371156109:dw| ?
umm I'm not really sure but I think it would be the slope and for the question I asked I think it would be 25.0 N/m not sure though
or +0.04 N/m
^_^ The equation of this line would fit \[ y=mx+b\] So looking at your graph, just replace these variables with force for y and distance for x giving you \[F=-kx\] which is Hooke's law. And you're correct in that the slope would be the slope of the line. \[ -k=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{-.5N}{.02m}\] \[k=25 \ N/m\]
~the spring constant would be the slope of the line
oh ok got it thanks!
Welcome ^_^
can u help me with one more question?
yah yah
What is the period of the spring's motion in the position-time graph shown here?
is it 2.0 s?
The period of a function like that is from one crest to the next |dw:1384371892990:dw|
