GCSE Physics Coursework Aim My aim is to investigate what factors affect the period of a Baby Bouncer. The factor that I will be varying will be the mass on the end of the spring. Hypothesis Hooke's law occurs in springs. The further you stretch the spring, the greater the force is opposing the stretching. Therefore, the force increases with distance. The equation for Hooke's law is: F= -kx. F is the force applied to stretch or compress the spring, x is the distance the spring is stretched or compressed and k is the "spring constant". It basically says that the response of a spring is proportional to the force, and when the force is removed, the spring will go back to its original shape. Prediction I predict that as the mass of the baby is increased, the period of the oscillation will also be increased. The period of oscillation will be from when...
