Answer 1

The energy stored in a spring when work is done in compressing or stretching it is called elastic potential energy

Question 2

Whats the formula for elastic potential energy

Answer 2

Ee = 1/2 x k x e2
Ee is the elastic potential energy in joules
k is the spring constant in Newtons per meter
e is the extension in meters
