Answer:

Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement. Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement. Because the force is = spring constant x displacement, then the Elastic potential energy = spring constant x displacement squared.
