Question

If you double the compression of a spring ,it’s potential energy will

Answer 1

When the spring is compressed its potential energy will increase.

Explanation:

• When you a compress or stretch a spring that you work against the restoring work of the spring the potential energy of the spring increases.

• This work is stored as the elastic potential energy of the spring. The potential energy increases with displacement from the equilibrium position of the spring

• So, when the compression is doubled its potential energy increases double the time along with displacement.
