Figure 1 shows the spring before and after a mass was hung from the end of the spring. Figure 1 0 1 . 1What is the extension of the spring in Figure 1? [1 mark] Tick ( ) one box. 1.5 cm 3.5 cm 13.5 cm Do not write outside the box *02* IB/M/Jun23/8463/2F 3 0 1 . 2 Give one safety precaution the student should have taken during this investigation. [1 mark] 0 1 . 3 The student hung a mass of 0.050 kg from the spring. gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg Calculate the weight of the 0.050 kg mass. Use the equation: weight = mass × gravitational field strength [2 marks] Weight = N 0 1 . 4 The weight of the mass applies a force to the spring. The student added more masses and recorded the extension of the spring. Which graph in Figure 2 shows the relationship between the force applied to the spring and the extension of the spring?
