Physics, asked by shruti1618, 1 year ago

The potential energy of a long spring when stretched by 2 cm is U. If the spring is stretched by 8cm the potential energy stored in it is :

A) 4U
B) 8U
C) 16U
4) U/4


Rushikesh23: Answer is 16U
shruti1618: Yess
shruti1618: Explanation
shruti1618: ??
Rushikesh23: Since 1\2kx^2=PE of spring by given condition 1/2k(2)^2=U. Hence by solving it we get k=U/2 then by second condition PE=1/2(U/2)64 then we get 16 U
shruti1618: Thank You so muchhh....

PE=1/2kx^2
By first condition
U=1/2k(2)^2
Then we get
K=U/2
Then by second condition
PE=1/2kx^2
Substituting value of K & x=8
PE=1/2 (U/2) (8)^2
We get 16U
