Hooke's law with Cobra SMARTsense

Principle
Hooke's law: The elastic deformation is proportional to the load applied.
Benefits

• Especially understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life, etc.) including protocol questions.
• Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.
• Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP.
• Increased media competence.

Tasks

• Measure the force on a spring with increasing load and determine the respective deflection.
• check whether there is a correlation between load and deflection for two different springs.

Learning objectives

The students should understand the statement of Hooke's law, i.e. the proportionality between force and deflection of a coil spring.
