Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 120

A spring with a spring constant of \(3200 \text{ N/m}\) is initially stretched until the elastic potential energy of the spring is \(1.44 \text{ J}\). (\(U = 0\) for the relaxed spring.) What is \(\Delta U\) if the initial stretch is changed to (a) a stretch of \(2.0 \text{ cm}\), (b) a compression of \(2.0 \text{ cm}\), and (c) a compression of \(4.0 \text{ cm}\)?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Find: (a) a stretch of \; (b) a compression of \; (c) a compression of \
