Challenge 5: Defining Gravity Using Spring Scales

Measuring Mass With SpringsIn this activity you will investigate the physical science of various masses and springs.1. Click this link: http://phet.colorado.edu/ This is a screen shot of the website:
Exploration Phase
1. Place various objects on the springs
2. Freely explore the effect of (1) adding friction, (2) making the spring softer and harder, and (3) changing the force of gravity (i.e., the planet).
Questions:
1. What happens to a spring when a lighter object is added to it?
2. What happens to a spring when a heavier object is added to it?
3. Explain why you think this happens.
Explanation Phase
Use the sim and fill in the blanks of the following table for 3 different conditions of the springs. Use the draggable ruler provided to make measurements. The ruler should be aligned with the reference line as seen below.
Generate a rule for the length of the spring when a mass is added to it based on the completed chart (i.e., reference point).
Use your rule to complete the chart below.
Apply (theoretically) to other scenarios
Test (experimentally) one scenario to confirm
Freely Falling ObjectsNear the surface of the Earth, all objects experience approximately the same acceleration due to gravity.

•If at rest, weight = force of gravity on the object: W = mg•g = 10 m/s2 only applies near the surface of the Earth
