Place the Red mass on spring 1. Use your graph and graph equation to find the weight of the yellow mass. Show your work. What is the mass of the Red object? Show your work. Apply your understanding: The following questions ask you to predict how the graph would change. You must state whether it would change and if it would, how. To explain a graph change you must talk about the aspect of the graph that changes. If the intercept, does it increase or decrease. If the slope, does it change sign, get steeper or less steep. Be sure to explain. In what way (if any) would your graph change if you had set the ruler so that its zero value was at the top of the spring? Give a reason. In what way (if any) would your graph change if you used spring 2? Give a reason. In what way (if any) would your graph change if you used spring 3 with the softness setting on the 7th mark from the left (the middle is considered the 5th mark)). Place a mass on spring 3
