Elastic Potential Energy

Elastic Potential Energy


An apple of mass 0.10 kg is suspended from a vertical
Example
spring with2spring constant 9.6 N/m. How much
elastic potential energy is stored in the spring if the
apple stretches the spring 20.4 cm?
If a spring has a spring constant of 0.5 N/m and it
Example 2 0.5 m, what is the force of the
is stretched
spring?
A ball is pushed into a spring-loaded launcher
Example
with a force2 of 20 N, which compresses the
spring 0.08 m.
