FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is elastic potential energy?
Back
Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the spring constant (k) represent?
Back
The spring constant (k) represents the stiffness of a spring; a higher value indicates a stiffer spring.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Hooke's Law?
Back
Hooke's Law states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the amount it is stretched or compressed, represented as F = kx.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for elastic potential energy?
Back
The formula for elastic potential energy (EPE) is EPE = 1/2 kx², where k is the spring constant and x is the deformation.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to elastic potential energy when a spring is compressed?
Back
When a spring is compressed, elastic potential energy is stored in the spring, which can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is deformation in the context of springs?
Back
Deformation refers to the change in shape or length of a spring when a force is applied to it.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the restoring force of a spring?
Back
The restoring force is the force exerted by a spring to return to its original shape after being deformed.
