Elastic Potential Energy Worked Example - GCSE Physics

🦊 In this GCSE Physics video, we explain how to calculate the elastic potential energy stored in a spring using its extension and spring constant, with the formula E= 1/2ke^2. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored during deformation, and it becomes kinetic energy when the spring is released. The video also provides an example calculation for a catapult's spring, yielding 4,800 joules of stored elastic potential energy. 👋 Hi, we’re Launchpad Learning.
