Question

How much energy is stored in the spring?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Draw the required diagram:

1. The energy is stored in the spring in the form of potential energy when it is stretched or compressed. The spring advances towards its equilibrium position with the same potential energy as you leave it, converting it into kinetic energy.
2. The stored potential energy formula:

$E=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)k{e}^2$

Where $E$denotes the elastic potential energy in joules, $k$denotes the spring constant in newtons per meter, and $e$ is the length extension in meters.
