A scientist suspends a spring from a force sensor. She then pulls on the spring causing the spring to stretch 1.0 cm. She records the amount of force applied to the spring. She then stretches the spring 2.0 cm and measures the new force. She repeats the process several times, each time increasing the length the spring is stretched. The dependent variable in the experiment is the:
A. The length the spring is stretched
B. The amount of force required to stretch the spring
C. The weight of the spring
D. The force sensor

Answer:
this is a prime example of Hooke's Law which says Hooke's law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x scales linearly with respect to that distance. That is, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring: its stiffness, and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.When an elastic object is stretched, the extra length is called its extension. an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it The formula is F = k × e , F for the force, k for spring constant expressed in N/m, e for extension in m. This equation works for as long the spring is not streched too far because once its goes beyond that the springs length will be different
