KE And Elastic Potential Energy Flashcards
Elastic potential energy
energy stored in an elastic object when work is does on the object
Hooke’s law principles
doubling the force on a spring will double its extension
- the extension on a spring is proportional to the force applied until you reach the limit of proportionality
Limit of proportionality
Point where spring constant Connor return to its original length
Spring constant
The ability of the spring bouncing back
- how much the spring can take
Hooke’s law formula
Force = spring constant x extension
Hooke’s law formula for spring constant
K = f divided by e
Ke formula for working out velocity
The square root of 2ke over mass
Ke formula for working out mass
2ke divided by speed2
Relationship between ke, mass, velocity
doubling mass = doubles ke
- doubling velocity = quadruples ke
