Four springs are stretched to the same distance from the equilibrium position. The spring constants are listed in the table.
A.) X,Y,W,Z
B.) X,W,Y,Z
C.) Z,W,Y,X
D.) Z,Y,W,X
The Hook's law states that F=Ke, where F⇒force applied to the spring, e⇒extension of the spring and K⇒spring constant. Spring constant determines the strength of the spring. The larger the spring constant the stronger the spring it is. The list from the greatest to list is:
where x is distance and k is the spring constant. Then, as k increases, PE also increases, so, the greatest potential energy corresponds to the greatest k, and vice versa.
