I've been attempting my Physics homework and realize I have no idea how to do any of the problems. Instead of asking each of them, I figured I'd ask if anyone knew where I could find a general lesson plan for this section. Here are some of the problems. All help is appreciated :). 1) A...

1/ 2mg God this is confusing me way more than it needs to So that goes on the x axis, and h/x^2 would be on the y axus because h/x^2 would be equal to k * 1/2mg. Is this correct? Thanks again for the help!

So with the equation 1/2kx^2 = mgh, you could extract out h and get h=kx^2/2mg so h/x^2= k/2mg That way you could plot h/x^2 on one axis and 2mg on the other. and k would be the slope? I think that I understand the physics part pretty well, but I'm struggling with the math.

x^2 on the x, and 2mgh on the y. I know that I could put mass or weight on for one variable, and height for the other, but I don't think that would solve for k, right? Would height/x on one axis and mg on the other solve leave a slope of k? I don't even know how to check if I am right. Oh, and...

I don't know why the 1,2, and 3 showed up again. Sorry. I'm new here

Homework Statement I quickly copied this down, so it is paraphrased but I hope it still makes sense. Some children are playing with a spring toy, compressing it off the ground and seeing how high it bounces. When they attach different masses to it, it bounces different heights. Each time...
