Question

A spring with a spring constant of 200 is compressed 0.5 . What is the potential energy stored in the spring

Answer 1

E = 25 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant, k = 200

Compression, x = 0.5

We need to find the potential energy stored in the spring. The formula for the stored potential energy in the spring is given by :

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

Put all the values,

`E=(1)/(2)* 200* 0.5^2\\\\E=25\ J`

So, 25 J of potential enersy is stored in the spring.
