Core
State that a force may produce a change in size and shape of a body
Plot extension/load graphs and describe the associated experimental
procedure
Supplement
Interpret extension/load graphs
State Hookes Law and recall and use the expression F = k x
F= Force k = spring constant x= extension length
Recognise the significance of the term limit of proportionality for an
extension/load graph
Changing shape
Force can also change the shape
of an object.

Hookes law
Hookes law states that the extension of a
spring force is proportional to the force used to
stretch the spring.

Stretching Springs - PhET - A realistic mass and
spring laboratory. Hang masses from springs and
adjust the spring stiffness and damping. You can
even slow time. Transport the lab to different
planets. A chart shows the kinetic, potential, and
thermal energy for each spring.
