Which spring has more potential energy stored?
a) 1.0 N/m constant spring stretched 0.2 m.

b) 2.0 N/m constant spring stretched 0.2 m.

c) 1.0 N/m constant spring stretched 0.3 m.

d) 2.0 N/m constant spring stretched 0.3 m.

Answer 1

Work is done when spring is extended or compressed. Elastic potential energy is stored in the spring. Provided inelastic deformation has not happened, the work done is equal to the elastic potential energy stored.

Answer 2

Answer: c) 1.0 N/m constant spring stretched 0.3 m.
