The potential energy in an elastic string of force constant k, which has an extension X is?

Assessment: JAMB UTME - Physics - 2022 Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

The potential energy in an elastic string of force constant k, which has an extension X is?
Answer Details
The correct answer is: ½KX2. When an elastic string is stretched or compressed, it stores potential energy, which can be calculated using the formula for elastic potential energy: Elastic potential energy = ½ * force constant * (extension)^2 In this case, the force constant is given as k, and the extension is given as X. So, the potential energy in the elastic string is: Elastic potential energy = ½ * k * X^2 Therefore, ½KX2, is the correct answer.
