Forces And Elacisity Flashcards
What does the Ee stand for in the equation for the energy stored in the spring
Elastic potential energy
What is the equation for the energy stored in a spring
Ee = 0.5 x K x e(squared)
What does the K stand for in the energy stored in a spring equation?
Spring constant
What is a spring constant
The stiffness of the spring
What is E^2 in the energy stored in a spring equation
It is the extension squared
What does the graph relationship between force and extension be described as
Propotional
What does the graph look like for force and extension relationship. Draw it.
Look it up
What does extension mean?
The increase in length when a force is applied outwards
How to measure the extension
subtracting the original length of the spring from its length with the force applied
