What does the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem state?

• The work done on an object by a net force equals the change in kinetic energy of the object

• The work done on an object by a net force equals the change in potential energy of the object

• The work done on an object by a net force equals the change in mechanical energy of the object

• The work done on an object by a net force equals the change in gravitational potential energy of the object

What is the spring constant?

• The ratio of the force affecting the spring to the displacement caused by it

• The ratio of the mass affecting the spring to the displacement caused by it

• The ratio of the energy affecting the spring to the displacement caused by it

• The ratio of the speed affecting the spring to the displacement caused by it
