Question

What is the difference between the energy of spring a, stretched 0.6 meters, and spring b, stretched 0.3 meters, if they have the same spring constant?

Answer 1

Spring A has more potential energy than Spring B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We know, E = 1/2 kx²
So, ΔE = E₂ - E₁ = 1/2 kx₂² - 1/2 kx₁²
ΔE = 1/2 k [ x₂² - x₁²]
ΔE = 1/2 k [0.6² - 0.3²]
ΔE = 1/2 k [0.36 - 0.09]
ΔE = 1/2 k [0.27]
Where, k = spring constant

Hope this helps!
