Elastic Potential Energy

Energy stored in objects that can stretch or compress, like elastic bands and springs.

2
New cards

Elasticity

The ability of an object to return to its original condition after being stretched or compressed.

3
New cards

Robert Hooke

Discovered the Law of Elasticity

4
New cards

Hooke’s Law

Frestore = -kx; describes the relationship between the force exerted on a spring and its extension or compression.

5
New cards

Restoring Force

The force that acts to restore a spring to its original position.

6
New cards

Spring Constant (k)

A constant that refers to the stiffness of an elastic object, measured in N/m.

7
New cards

Spring Constant (Graphical)

Represented by the slope of a force vs. extension graph for a spring.

8
New cards

Work (Graphical)

Represented by the area under the curve of a force vs. extension graph for a spring.
