K.C.S.E Physics Q & A - MODEL 2008PP1QN13

​The graphs in Fig. 7 represent the relations between extension e and mass m added on two springs x and y.

Given that the two springs are made of same materials, give a reason why the graphs are different.

answer

• Diameter coils different/ wires have different thickness/ No. of turns per unit length different/ length of spring different. (x- Larger diameter than Y Or in one coils are closer than in the other
