What equation is used to calculate elastic potential energy?

• E_{p = m g h}

• E_{p = 1/2 k x}²

• E_{p = F / E d}

If extension = Stretched length - original length. What is the extension of spring D.

• mm

• mm

• mm

• mm

If F is force, k is spring constant and x is extension, Hooke's Law tells us that:

• F = k / x

• x = F . k

• k = F . x

• F = k . x

A stiff spring has a:

• high spring constant

• low spring constant

• spring constant of any value

• spring constant which is difficult to predict

A spring has a spring constant of 5 N/cm. What is its extension when loaded with 15 N?

• x = 4 cm

• x = 5 cm

• x = 3 m

• x = 3 cm

Which of the following springs is the stiffest?

• A spring that requires a froce of 2000 N to compress it by 6.8 m.

• A spring that requires a force of 4000 N to stretch it by 9.0 m. 

• A spring that requires a force of 8000 N to compress it by 45 m.  

• A spring that requires a force of 4800 N to stretch it by 14 m.

A spring has a spring constant of 330 N/m. How far is the spring compressed if 150 N of force are used?

• x = 2.2 m

• x = 0.0014 m

• x = 5.0 m

• x = 0.45 m

Which of the following is a true statement regarding springs?

• The higher the value of the spring constant, the stiffer the spring.  

• In Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring acts in the same direction as displacement.  

• Springs are designed to provide unpredictable variations in force.  

• The force exerted by a spring has a quadratic relationship with the displacement form equilibrium.
