    The document contains 3 questions about students investigating elastic properties of materials. Q1 asks about an investigation of the extension of an elastic band when different forces are applied. It asks for the apparatus needed, how to measure extension, and how to plot and interpret loading and unloading data. Q2 is about investigating the extension of a rubber band when masses are added, including plotting a graph of force vs. extension. Q3 is an investigation of the stretching of a spring when different masses are hung from it, including measuring the distance stretched, calculating forces, plotting a graph, and determining whether the spring obeys Hooke's law.

    Questions

    Q1.
     
    A student investigates the extension of an elastic band for different forces.
    (a) (i)  List the laboratory apparatus that the student needs for this investigation.
    He needs a ruler and steel spring and rubber band
    (3)

    (ii)  Extension, force and temperature are variables for this investigation.


    Draw a line from each variable to its type
    (2)

    (iii)  Describe how the student can measure the extension of the elastic band when he adds a force of
    12 N.

    (2)
    (b)  The student obtains this data as he first adds weights to the elastic band (loading) and as he then
    removes weights from the band (unloading).

    He plots the loading data on a graph as shown.


    (i)  Suggest how the student could improve the quality of his data.
    (2)
    Repeat the experiment several time and improve measuring technique

    (ii)  Draw a curve of best fit through the loading data.


    (1)
    (iii)  On the same axes, plot the unloading data.
    (2)
    (iv)  Draw a curve of best fit through the unloading data.
    (1)
    (v)  The student concludes that the band is an elastic material and that it obeys Hooke's law.
    Discuss whether his conclusion is correct.
    You should support your argument with data.
    (3)

     
    (Total for question = 16 marks)
     
    Q2.

    A student investigates the extension of a rubber band when masses are added.
    (a) Tick the boxes to select the correct items of apparatus that the student would
    need in order to complete this investigation.
    Two items have already been selected.
    (2)

    (b) The table below shows the student's results.

    5.5

    (i) Complete the table by inserting the missing force.


    (1)
    (ii) Plot a graph to show how force varies with extension.
    (5)

    (iii) Use the information from the graph to explain whether the rubber band
    obeys Hooke's Law.
    (2)
          
     
    (Total for question = 10 marks)
    Q3.
     
    A student uses this apparatus to investigate forces stretching a spring.

    She uses a ruler to measure the vertical distance h between the bottom of the mass hanger and the base
    of the stand.

    (a)  Suggest two ways that the student can measure distance h more accurately.
    (2)
    1) Measuring tape

    2)

    (b)  The student continues her investigation by loading the spring with different masses.
    The table shows her results.

    (i)  Name the dependent variable in this investigation.


    (1)
    The distance
    .Explain how the force values in the table are calculated  )ii(
    (2)
    You first take the mass and divided by 1000 and than multiply it by 10 and you get the force.
    (iii)  Plot a graph of distance h against force, and draw the line of best fit.
    (5)
    (iv)  Use your graph to find the force for which h is zero.
    (2)

    force = .............................................. N

    (v)  Explain whether the spring obeys Hooke's law.
