The elastic potential energy varies linearly with displacement.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in homework.This question is from The Potential Energy of a Spring topic in division Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (b) False

Easy EXPLANATION: PE = 1/2 x k x d^2; where d = Displacement

Equation of PARABOLA: y = 4x^2

By comparing the two EQUATIONS, we can conclude that the elastic potential energy varies parabolically with displacement and not linearly.
