Elastic Potential Energy

Question 1

What is elastic potential

Answer 1

Energy stored in a stretched spring

Question 2

What happens when we stretch a spring

Answer 2

We are applying a force to change the length of the spring

Question 3

Applying force =

Answer 3

Doing “the work”

Question 4

What is the stretch of a spring called

Answer 4

Extension (e)

Question 5

Extension is directly….

Answer 5

Proportional to the force

Question 6

What is limit pf proportionality

Answer 6

The spring will no longer return to its original length when force is taken away

Question 7

What is it called when a spring is stretched too much and has reached its limit

Answer 7

Limit of proportionality

Question 8

If you apply too greater for to the extension what no longer happens or is it

Answer 8

No longer directly proportional

Question 9

Direct proportion

Answer 9

Constant ratio between the two quantities

Question 10

How to calculate potential energy

Answer 10

Ee = 0.5 * K * e^2

Question 11

Ee = 0.5 * K * e^2

Answer 11

Elastic potential energy (J) = 0.5 * spring constant (nm) * extension (m)must be in mètres convert if not)
