elastic potential energy (\(\text{E}_{e}\)) is measured in joules (J) spring constant (\(k\)) is measured in newtons per metre (N/m) extension, referring to the ...

Springs are a common device for storing energy. A spring which is compressed from its by an amount x from its equlibrium length exerts a force This work represents energy transferred to the spring and ...

Forces may change the shape of an object. An elastic object, such as a spring, stores elastic potential energy when stretched or squashed. The extension of an elastic object is directly ...
