Scenario a: a 3 spring is compressed a distance of 1.0 m. scenario b: a 6 spring is compressed a distance of 0.8 m. scenario c: a 9 spring is compressed a distance of 0.6 m. scenario d: a 12 spring is compressed a distance of 0.4 m. which scenario generates the most elastic potential energy?

Scenario B)

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy stored in a spring is given by:

where k is the spring constant and x is the compression/stretching of the spring.

Let's calculate the potential energy of each spring by using this formula:

A)

B)

C)

D)  

Therefore, the scenario with most elastic potential energy is B.

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
