Question

Explain what is meant by the potential energy of a spring? Obtain an

expression for it and discuss the nature of its variation between

potential and kinetic?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy. Elastic potential energy is Potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring.

It is equal to the work done to stretch the spring, which depends upon the spring constant k as well as the distance stretched.
