Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.
The two factors that affect elastic potential energy are the amount of stretch or compression of the elastic material and the stiffness of the material, determined by its spring constant.
Elastic potential energy depends on the material's elasticity (spring constant) and the amount of deformation or stretch from the equilibrium position.
The spring constant depends on the material and geometry of the spring, as well as the number of coils and the diameter of the wire used to make the spring. Additionally, the spring constant can be affected by temperature, stress, and the state of strain in the material.
Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an elastic material (like a spring or rubber band) when it is stretched or compressed. It is calculated as 1/2 * k * x^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
Factors that affect elastic potential energy include the stiffness of the material (determined by its spring constant), the amount of stretch or compression applied to the material, and the distance over which the force is applied. Additionally, the elastic potential energy is directly proportional to the square of the deformation distance.
