Oct 2, 2023 · Each of these would ostensibly represent different amount of potential energy, but they are physically identical systems, the only difference is where we have chosen to put the arbitrary, …

Dec 7, 2018 · The formula for elastic potential energy (for a spring) has been derived by assuming the following things: 1.Work done by a deforming force on a spring from a relaxed state (state where …

Feb 21, 2025 · I am confused by the point in a spring where potential energy is zero. Though some forums addresses this, I want clarification on this particular example. People are saying that potential …

Apr 7, 2018 · Potential energy of a mass-spring system Ask Question Asked 7 years, 8 months ago Modified 7 years, 8 months ago

Mar 20, 2024 · The potential energy of the "block+spring" system at the instant of release is taken to be 1/2 kx 2 (provided potential energy is zero at x=0). I am aware of the following. If external forces do …

Surely the gravitational potential energy lost by the mass should equal the elastic potential energy gained by the spring? On the contrary, if something fell down doesn't that imply it gained some …

Aug 17, 2024 · Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in a stretched or compressed object (this stretching/compression has been carried out by an external force applied to that object), such as a …

Sep 6, 2017 · I'm giving a high school lecture and I want to introduce the potential energy of a spring. My students have not learned the Hooke's Law and the notion of integral is too advanced. I'm really trying...

Apr 5, 2019 · But shouldn't loss of potential energy by that object equal gain in elastic potential energy? Here, only half of original Potential energy is converted to elastic potential energy. Where did the rest …

Feb 12, 2024 · However, the potential energy stored by the spring is just the potential difference of the mass caused by its descent, isn't it? No, the two potential energies are quite independent of each other.
