Question

Which factor afects gravitational potential energy but not elastic potential energy?

O spring constant
O velocity
O distance
O mass

Answer 1

The correct answer is the spring constant (k)

Explanation:

Elastic potential energy: Epe = ½ * k * Δx²

k = spring constant

Δx = displacement

Gravitational ptential energy: Ep = m*g*h

g = (acceleration due to gravity)

m = mass

h = relative height of an object to some reference point

Answer 2

The answer is spring constant
