The potential energy stored in the spring is 0.025 J.

What is potential energy stored in a spring?

This is the energy stored in a spring when its is stretched or compressed through a certain length.

To calculate the potential energy stored in a spring, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • E = Fe/2............... Equation 1

Where:

  • E = Potential energy of the spring
  • F = Force applied to the spring
  • e = Extension or Compression

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 5 N
  • e = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • E = 5×0.01/2
  • E = 0.025 J

Hence, the potential energy stored in the spring is 0.025 J.
