What is potential energy of a spring? |
| Answer» Elastic potential energy is Potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring. It is equal to the work done to stretch the spring, which depends upon the spring constant k as well as the distance stretched.The spring constant, k , is a measure of the stiffness of a spring (large k stiff spring, small k soft spring). | |
