?
When we stretch a spring, we are applying a ___ to change the ___ of the spring
Force, length
1 of 8
What is elastic potential energy?
The energy we put in to stretch the spring, is being stored by the spring and that energy is called elastic potential energy
2 of 8
When a spring is stretched, we call the stretch the ___
Extension
3 of 8
No force = ?
No extension
4 of 8
Extension is ___ to the force
Directly proportional
5 of 8
If a spring i stretched beyond its limit, the extension is no longer ___ to the force
Directly proportional
6 of 8
When the spring has been stretched too much it has been stretched beyond the___
Limit of proportionality
7 of 8
If a spring has been stretched beyond the limit of proportionality, what will happen/not happen when the force is removed?
When the force is removed, the spring will not go back to its original length
