Question

How much elastic potential energy is stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The elastic potential energy formula is
`(1)/(2) kx^(2)`

where k is the spring constant

since we do not know x, the distance the spring is stretched, we get the equation
`5x^(2)`. To find the elastic potential energy, you just need to plug in x.
