      Question

      The energy stored in a stretched spring

      is:
      A 1/2 mv² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/2 kx² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/2 kx Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D kx Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The potential energy stored in a stretched or compressed spring follows Hooke’s Law: U = 1/2 kx² Here, k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from the natural length. This energy is due to the work done in stretching or compressing the spring. So, correct expression is 1/2 kx².
