Answer:

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. ... The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is $x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m$

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.
