When a coil spring is compressed, the work is done in the spring. The elastic potential energy:A. increases B. decreases C. disappears D. remains unchanged |
|
Answer» Work done by a coil spring is given by, W = \(\frac{1}{2}\)KX2 Where k is the spring constant/stiffness X is the extension or compression produced This work done is stored in spring as elastic potential energy (PE) when the spring is compressed and hence elastic potential energy decreases. |
