When U = 1/2 k(-A)2 is the spring stretched or compressed? stretched
Added by Stephanie J.
Step 1
Step 1: The equation U = 1/2 k(-A)^2 represents the potential energy stored in a spring, where U is the potential energy, k is the spring constant, and A is the displacement from the equilibrium position. Show more…
