On Elastic Potential Energy?

Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object springs back to its original shape, doing work in the process. The deformation could involve compressing, stretching or twisting the object.

What does elastic potential energy depend on?

Elastic potential energy is Potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring. It is equal to the work done to stretch the spring, which depends upon the spring constant k as well as the distance stretched.

What is elastic potential energy equal to?

Elastic potential energy is the stored energy of a compressible or stretchable object like a spring or rubber band or molecule. Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement.
