what's the difference between elastic deformation and inelastic deformation?
elastic is when a spring returns to original shape/length when the force stretching/compressing it is removed. However, inelastic deformation is when the spring does not return to original length because it's reached the limit of proportionality

How do you calculate elastic potential energy?
EPE = spring constant x extension(squared) x 0.5

A smaller extension means there's more EPE. True?
no. larger extension means more work is done to strength it, meaning more energy is transferred (as work done = energy transferred), therefore more EPE is stored in the spring as work done
