A spring has a spring constant of 120 newtons per meter. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched 2.0 centimeters.
The elastic potential of a spring can be calculated using the formula E = (1/2) k x² where are given that k = 120 N/m the stretched length is x = 0.02 m
The elastic potential is E = (1/2) (120 N/m) (0.02 m)² E = 0.024 N-m
