5.3 Forces and elasticity

What is deformation, and what causes it?

A

A change in an object's shape caused by forces.

B

k=Fe=6.00.040=150 N/mk = \dfrac{F}{e} = \dfrac{6.0}{0.040} = \mathbf{150\ \text{N/m}}k=eF​=0.0406.0​=150 N/m

C

Energy stored in a stretched or compressed elastic object because work is done to deform it.

D

If the spring is not inelastically deformed, the work done equals the elastic potential energy stored.
