3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does elastic potential energy depend on?
Remember the formula E_e = 1/2 kx^2.
Name one real-life application of elastic potential energy.
Think about objects that can stretch.
What is the formula for calculating elastic potential energy?
Remember that there's a half in the formula.
True or False: A stiffer spring (higher spring constant) will store less elastic potential energy when compressed the same distance.
Think about the relationship between spring stiffness and energy.
A spring is compressed by 0.5 m with a spring constant of 300 N/m. Calculate the maximum energy stored in the spring once it is released, then determine the work done when returning to the natural length.
Use the potential energy formula to find the energy stored first.
Two springs are used in an experiment. Spring A has a spring constant of 100 N/m and is stretched to 0.2 m, while Spring B has a spring constant of 200 N/m but is compressed by 0.1 m. Which spring stores more potential energy?
Compare the energy stored using E_e = 1/2 kx^2 for both springs.
