Key Stage 3
Meaning
Hooke's Law states that the extension of an elastic object is proportional to the force applied to the object.
About Hooke's Law
- Hooke's Law describes how elastic objects behave when a pair of opposing forces is applied.
- Hooke's Law is described by the equation: Force = Spring Constant x Extension
Equation
\( F = k \times x \) Where:
- F = Force applied
- k = Spring Constant (stiffness of the elastic object)
- x = Extension of the object
