elastic potential energy (\(\text{E}_{e}\)) is measured in joules (J) spring constant (\(k\)) is measured in newtons per metre (N/m) extension, referring to the increase in length (\(\text{e}\)) is ...

The elastic potential energy stored can be calculated using the equation: A spring has a spring constant, k, of 3 N/m. It is stretched until it is extended by 50 cm. Calculate the elastic potential ...

I blame Destin and his interesting sling shot video. Watch it. In this video, he claims that rubber bands do not act like springs. By "acting like springs" of course he means Hooke's law. This ...
