Elastic Potential Energy vs Spring Constant (k)
Elastic Potential Energy
Energy stored in a deformed elastic object (like a spring) follows Hooke's law.
Formula
PE = (1/2) * k * x²
where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from the natural length.
Example Calculation
A spring with k = 200 N/m is compressed 0.1 m.
- 01PE = 0.5 * k * x²
- 02PE = 0.5 * 200 * 0.01
- 03PE = 1 J
