Elastic Potential Energy
Elastic potential energy, abbreviated as PE, is the energy stored in objects as the result of deformation, such as a spring when stretching or compressing.
Elastic Potential Energy formula
\(\large{ PE = \frac {1}{2}\; k_s\; x^2 }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ PE }\) = elastic potential energy
\(\large{ x }\) = length or displacement
\(\large{ k_s }\) = spring constant
