Lesson Plan: Deformation of Springs Physics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to use the formula 𝐹 = 𝑘𝑥 to calculate the deformation of a spring, defining the spring constant as the resistance of a spring to deformation.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- use the formula force exerted on a deformed spring = spring constant change in the length of the spring.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- Newton’s second law of motion,
- the normal reaction force.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- oscillations of springs.
