U=1/2kx^2 = (1/2)(17.7N/cm)(19.0cm)^2 = 3194.85 N*cm = 3.195 N*m = 3.20 Joules

Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
Example of elastic potential energy?
Bunjee jumping Catapult
What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
What are two forms of potential energy?
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
Explain the ideas of potential and kinetic energy using a rubber band as your example?
When you stretch the rubber band you are doing work and energy is stored in the elastic, this is potential energy. When you release the band, the potential turns into kinetic and you have movement, until the elastic has returned to its unstressed original state. Im bored humor me
What elastic potential energy depends on?
Elastic potential energy depends on the distance the object is compressed or stretched.
What energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy?
Yes.
What kinds of energy does a spring have?
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
What is a form of potential energy?
There are three main types of potential energy: elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and chemical potential energy. Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can either be stretched or compressed. The more the object is stretched or compressed, the more elastic potential energy it'll have.
What form of energy does a compressed spring have?
This is known as elastic energy. It is a type of potential energy.
Compressed springs are what kind of energy?
The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation: U=.5kx2 U= potential energy (in joules) k= the spring constant x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed) This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
What is the difference between elastic force and elastic potential energy?
Elastic force is a force which you are acting on it while elastic potential energy is produced when the spring is being compressed or stretched
What is the potential energy called that is associated with object that can be stretched or compressed?
Elastic Potential energy
Elastic potential energy is associated with objects that can be what?
Elastic potential energy can be found in a spring, in a rubber band, and in a pogo stick
What is the energy stored i compressed springs is called?
Elastic potential energy
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy true or false?
True
