Spring Potential Energy
About the Lecture
The lecture Spring Potential Energy by Jared Rovny, PhD is from the course Energy of Point Object Systems.
Included Quiz Questions
Two springs are stretched from their equilibrium by 3 cm. If they have different spring constants, which spring has a greater stored potential energy?
- The spring with the greater spring constant
- The spring with the smaller spring constant
- They have the same potential energy since their displacement from equilibrium is the same
- This will depend on whether the springs are stretched or compressed
- This will depend on the chosen equilibrium position x₀ of the springs
If the displacement of a spring from its equilibrium position is tripled, by what factor does the stored potential energy change?
- By a factor of 9
- By a factor of 6
- By a factor of 3
- This will depend on whether the spring is stretched or compressed
- By a factor of 27
