To determine

To Describe:

The small −stretch limit of Hooke's Law for a spring

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The limit of proportionality is the stretch limit beyond which Hooke's law is not valid if the material is stretched further. While the elastic limit defines the point beyond which if material is stretched it gets permanently deformed when the force is removed.

Conclusion:

It is called the limit of proportionality and elastic limit

physics need help. Compressed a spring.
You are asked to design spring bumpers for the walls of a parking garage. A freely rolling (no friction) 1200-kg car moving at 0.650m/s is to compress the spring no more than 0.0900m before stopping. a) b) Make a sketch showing starting and ending positions of car What should be the force constant of the spring? Assume that the spring has negligible mass, and that there is a mechanism that prevents the car from rebounding. (it just stops and stays there) mi v
