Four springs are stretched to the same distance from the equilibrium position. the spring constants are listed in the table. a.) x, y,w, z b.) x, w,y, z c.) z, w,y, x d.) z, y,w, x

B.) X,W,Y,Z

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy equation is:

PE = (1/2)*k*x²

where x is distance and k is the spring constant. Then, as k increases, PE also increases, so, the greatest potential energy corresponds to the greatest k, and vice versa.

it doesn't. it was imagined up in the middle ages.
