Front

What does the spring constant (k) represent?

Back

The spring constant (k) represents the stiffness of a spring. A higher value of k indicates a stiffer spring that requires more force to stretch or compress.

Front

What is the unit of the spring constant (k)?

Back

The unit of the spring constant (k) is Newtons per meter (N/m).

If a spring has a spring constant of 350 N/m and is stretched by 0.25 m, what is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring?

Front

What is the significance of the displacement (x) in the elastic potential energy formula?

Back

The displacement (x) represents how far the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position. It directly affects the amount of elastic potential energy stored.
