Q

EPE + stretch/compression

A

more stretch/compression, more EPE

17
Q

EPE + spring constant

A

stronger spring constant, more EPE

18
Q

spring constant

A

K, strength/stiffness of an elastic object

19
Q

elastic potential energy equation

A

Us=1/2kx^2
x= how much you can stretch/condense string

20
Q

conservative forces

A

conserve TME, also called internal forces
-F gravitational, spring constant

21
Q

non-conservative forces

A

do not conserve TME, convert energy to something else
-work occurs, (work external)
-friction, applied force, normal force, tension, air resistance
