Forces may change the shape of an object. An elastic object, such as a spring, stores elastic potential energy when stretched or squashed. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional ...

Learn how a spring stores and releases energy. Understand how work is done by spring force and how spring potential energy is calculated. #Physics #SpringForce #Energy 'Won't happen again': Stephen ...

Here is a spring mounted vertically. Also, there is a hanger for some masses on the end. Now suppose I measure the location of the bottom of the mass holder. Then I place a 250 gram mass in the holder ...

The mass is just sitting there motionless. There is no acceleration and it is in equilibrium. What does this mean? This means that the net force in the y-direction (vertical direction) must be zero. I ...
