Answer:
250J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Spring constant = 500N/m
Extension = 1m
Unknown:
Elastic potential energy = ?
Solution:
The elastic potential energy of a body is the energy stored within an elastic string.
EPE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] k e²
k is the spring constant
e is the extension
Now;
EPE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 500 x 1² = 250J
