Physics

Unit 0

  • Unit Conversion: 100 cm = 1 m
  • 1 N/m (Newton per meter) = 1 J (Joule)

Energy

Elastic Potential Energy Formula: [tex]\displaystyle U_E = \frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2[/tex]

  • k is spring constant
  • Δx is displacement from equilibrium

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

k = 150 N/m

Δx = 14 cm

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Unit Conversion 100 cm = 1 m

Step 3: Convert

Δx = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Step 4: Find Energy

  1. Substitute [EPE]:                    [tex]\displaystyle U_E = \frac{1}{2} (150 \ N/m)(0.14 \ m)^2[/tex]
  2. Exponents:                             [tex]\displaystyle U_E = \frac{1}{2} (150 \ N/m)(0.0196 \ m^2)[/tex]
  3. Multiply:                                 [tex]\displaystyle U_E = (75 \ N/m)(0.0196 \ m^2)[/tex]
  4. Multiply:                                 [tex]\displaystyle U_E = 1.47 \ N/m[/tex]
  5. Redefine:                               [tex]\displaystyle U_E = 1.47 \ J[/tex]
