A spring of spring constant 200 N/m is stretched by 0.1 m. How much elastic potential energy does it store?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1 J
- Step 1: Elastic potential energy .
- Step 2: J.
Answer
1 J.
Why not the others: 2 J: the factor is missing. 10 J: the extension is not squared. 20 J: that is the force, not the energy.
