New cards

Formula for Potential Energy of a Spring:

PEspring = ½ kx²

where k = spring constant
x = amount of compression
(relative to equilibrium position)

2
New cards

Define Potential Energy

Energy stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position

3
New cards

Define Elastic Potential Energy

Energy stored in elastic materials (spring, bungee cord, etc.) as a result of strong or compressing

4
New cards

Gravitational Potential Energy

Energy stored as the result of the gravitational attraction of the Earth for the object

5
New cards

Formula for Gravitational Potential Energy

PEgrav = mgh

6
New cards

Equilibrium position of a spring

Position that the spring naturally is at when there is no force applied to it
