6. Springs and Elastic Materials Springs store energy when compressed or stretched Follow Hooke’s Law for small deformations F = - kx F : restoring force k : spring constant x : displacement from equilibrium

7. How Work is Done on a Spring Work is needed to stretch or compress a spring This work is stored as potential energy Directly related to the displacement of the spring

8. Elastic Potential Energy Formula integrating Hooke's Law Work done = ∫ F dx = ∫ kx dx Work done = Potential Energy stored Hooke’s Law explains the restoring force

9. Test Your Understanding What happens to the potential energy if you double the displacement? A spring has a spring constant of 100 N/m. How much energy is stored when stretched 0.2 m?
