Question

Out of a pair of identical springs of spring
constant 240 N/m, one is compressed by 10 cm
and the other is extended by 10 cm. The
difference of the stored potential energies of the
two springs is
(a) 12 J
(b) 4J
(c) 1.2 J
(d) 0
give full explanation
if right then iwill give it brainlist​

Answer 1

Answer is zero

The stored potential energy of a spring is independent whether it is compressed or expanded
This is because the spring always does negative work and opposite to the direction of motion.

Mathematically Also
P = 1/2kx^2
This doesn’t depend upon movement in left from natural length or right.

Rate brainliest if understood.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between in potential energy stored in the two spring is 0
