What is elastic potential energy?
Think about rubber bands and springs.
Name one example of where you find elastic potential energy.
Consider items that can return to their original shape.
What is the formula for elastic potential energy?
Remember the variables $k$ for spring constant and $x$ for displacement.
True or False: Elastic potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy.
Think about how a released rubber band moves.
A spring with a spring constant of 250 N/m is compressed by 0.8 m. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.
Make sure to calculate the square of the displacement.
