<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>
Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.
Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.
Solving for Δx:

Answer:
A= 148.92 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that
U(x,y) = (6.00 )x² - (3.75 )y ³
m= 0.04 kg
Now force in the x-direction
Fx= - dU/dx
U(x,y) = (6.00 )x² - (3.75 )y ³
dU/dx= 12 x
When x=0.4 m
dU/dx= 12 x 0.4 = 4.8
So we can say that
Fx= - 4.8 N
From Newtons law
F= m a
- 4.8 = 0.04 x a
a = -120 m/s²
Acceleration in x direction ,a = -120 m/s²
In y -direction
F= - dU/dy
U(x,y) = (6.00 )x² - (3.75 )y ³
dU/dy = 0 - 3.75 x 3 y²
When y = 0.56 m
dU/dy = - 3.75 x 3 x 0.56 x 0.56
dU/dy = - 3.52
So we can say that force in y -direction
F= 3.52 N
F= m a'
3.52 = 0.04 x a'
a'=88.2 m/s²
acceleration in y direction is 88.2 m/s²
The resultant acceleration
A= 148.92 m/s²
