Question

if force is applied on a spring causing negative displacement, what must be true about the spring during this displacement? (1 point)
the spring is being compressed.
the spring has a high spring constant.
the spring cannot stretch further.
the spring is releasing its energy.

Explanation:

In physics, negative displacement of a spring usually means it is being compressed. Compression is when the length of the spring is decreased from its equilibrium position. The spring - constant is a property of the spring and not directly related to the sign of displacement. A spring can still stretch or compress further depending on the force applied, and negative displacement doesn't imply energy release.

Answer:

The spring is being compressed.
