1. A 2-kg mass is attached to a spring. If the elongation of spring is 4 cm, determine potential energy of elastic spring. Akcelo pro gravito estas 10 m/s2.
Konata:
Maso (m) = 2 kg
Akcelo pro gravito (g) = 10 m/s2
Pezo (w) = mg = (2)(10) = 20 N
Elongation (x) = 4 cm = 0.04 m
Dezirata: Potential energy of elastic spring
Solvo:
Formulo de Leĝo de Hooke :
F = kx
F = force, k = spring constant, x = the change in length of spring
Risortkonstanto:
k = w / x = 20 / 0.04 = 500 N/m
Potential energy of elastic spring :
PE = ½ k x2 = ½ (500)(0.04)2 = (250)(0.0016) = 0.4 Ĵuloj
Alternative solution :
PE = ½ k x2 = ½ (w / x) x2 = ½ wx = ½ mgx
w = weight, m = mass, x = the change in length of spring
PE = ½ (2)(10)(0.04) = (10)(0.04) = 0.4 Joule.

Solvo:
Calculate the elastic constant of a spring using the equation of Hooke’s law :
k = F / Δx = 500 N / 0.04 m = 12500 N/m
The elastic potential energy of spring :
PE = ½ k Δx2 = ½ (12500)(0.04)2 = (6250)(0.0016)
PE = 10 Ĵuloj
La ĝusta respondo estas B.
5. A spring when suspended with a mass of 500 gramoj, its length increases by 5 cm. Determine its konstanta kaj lia potential energy.
Konata:
Mass of object (m) = 500 gram = (500/1000) kg = 5/10 kg = 0.5 kg
Acceleration (g) = 10 m/s2
Object weight (w) = m g = (0.5 kg)(10 m/s2) = 5 kg m/s2 = 5 Neŭtono
The change in length of spring (Δx) = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Dezirata: spring’s constant (k) and potential energy (PE)
Solvo:
First, calculate spring’s constant using equation of Hooke’s law :
k = w / Δx = 5 N / 0.05 m = 100 N/m
The potential elastic of spring :
PE = ½ k Δx2 = ½ (100)(0.05)2 = (50)(0.0025)
PE = 0.125 Ĵuloj
