Question

Write an expression for elastic potential energy of a spring?

Answer 1

`\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}}`

`\leadsto` The elastic potential energy of a spring can be said to be the energy possessed by a spring due to a force that compresses or stretches the spring. This can also be said to be the work which is done by the applied force against the restoring force of the spring, which is stored as the elastic potential energy.

The elastic potential of a spring can be expressed as:

▪
`\longrightarrow \sf{PE= \: (1)/(2) kx}`

`\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}`

`\bm{PE= \: (1)/(2) kx}`
