Mass And Springs Salt Simulation

409 Words2 Pages
For this experiment, I used the online Mass & Springs PhET simulator to perform the experiment. First, I positioned the ruler so that 0 was on the line at which the end of the spring was at rest. Then, I put a 50g weight on the end of the spring and let the spring come to rest. After that, I pulled the spring down 10cm and released. I recorded the point at which the spring’s rebound stopped. I repeated this step two more times. I recorded the information on a chart. I then averaged these measurements and recorded it on the chart. Next, I took a 100g weight and placed it on the end of the spring. I let the spring come to rest. After that, I pulled the spring down 10cm and released it. I recorded the point at which the spring’s rebound stopped.
