Question 735 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Which is a correct description of Hooke’s law?

Answer
A
The force applied to a spring equals the product of the spring constant and the displacement.
B
The force applied to a spring equals the spring constant divided by the displacement.
C
The spring constant of a spring equals the product of the force applied and the displacement.
D
The spring constant of a spring equals the displacement divided by the force applied.

Explanation

Hooke’s law is written as F = kx, where F is the force, k is the spring constant, and x is the spring’s displacement from its resting position. Thus, the force equals the spring constant multiplied by the displacement. The correct description is “The force applied to a spring equals the product of the spring constant and the displacement.”
