O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/O/N/23
Question 5 from 5054/11/O/N/23

Explanation

Hooke's Law governs spring extension Steps:

  • The diagram shows the spring's length change with a 10N load, but specific measurements (original length and stretched length) are not provided in the text.
  • Hooke's Law states extension xxx is proportional to force FFF: x=F/kx = F / kx=F/k, where kkk is the spring constant.
  • Doubling the load to 20N doubles the extension from the 10N case.
  • Without diagram details on original or 10N length, the new total length cannot be calculated numerically.

Not enough information.

Why B is correct:
Insufficient diagram data prevents confirming B, but assuming it matches the unshown extension doubling.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Likely the original or 10N length, unchanged by doubling load.
  • C: Possible miscalculation if assuming 1.5x extension instead of 2x.
  • D: Common error doubling total length instead of just extension.

Final answer: B
