I blame Destin and his interesting sling shot video. Watch it. In this video, he claims that rubber bands do not act like springs. By "acting like springs" of course he means Hooke's law. This ...

At full operation, the new Constant Spring superstore is expected to create 75 new jobs, bringing the company’s total ...

How much energy can you store in a rubber band? Obviously, the answer depends on the size of the rubber band. I'm talking about, of course, the energy density or specific energy of an energy storage ...

The elastic potential energy stored can be calculated using the equation: A spring has a spring constant, k, of 3 N/m. It is stretched until it is extended by 50 cm. Calculate the elastic potential ...

A spring has a spring constant of 3 N/m. It is stretched until it is extended by 50 cm. Calculate the energy transferred during the stretching, assuming it is not stretched beyond the elastic limit.
