Question on: JAMB Physics - 2022

The potential energy in an elastic string of force constant k, which has an extension X is?

A

kX

B

KX\(^{2}\)

C

½KX\(^{2}\)

D

½K

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C

The potential energy stored in an elastic string is given by the formula:

Potential Energy (PE) = ½ * k * X²

where:

  • k is the force constant
  • X is the extension of the string

Therefore, the correct answer is ½KX².
