Explanation:
<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.
The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is
Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m
The energy stored in the spring is:
PE = 113.4 J
