A. If the force on a spring doubles, the distance it stretches doubles.B. If the force on a spring doubles, the springs length increases by some unknown amount.C. If the force on a spring doubled, the distance it stretches is halved.
D. If the force on a spring doubles, the springs length decreases by the same unknown amount.

I believe the correct answer is A, because the spring pushes back with the same amount of force applied

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Hook's law, the force (F) required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the stress caused within the elastic limit.

Therefore, it means that when force on a spring doubles then the spring will also stretch at a double distance.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement if the force on a spring doubles, the distance it stretches doubles is true according to Hooke's law.
