Step-by-step explanation:

The energy stored in an elastic objects as a result of deformation is called elastic potential energy. The energy stored in a spring is given by :


E=(1)/(2)kx^2

Where

k = spring constant

x = compression or stretching in an spring

While gravitational potential energy is given by :

PE = mgh

where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height from ground

So, the factor affecting elastic potential energy but not gravitational potential energy is " spring constant ".
