A compressed spring has a tennis ball of mass 0.5 kg attached to it. The spring is then released which sends the ball moving on a horizontal surface, with a sped of 2m/s-1. What is the elastic energy of the compressed spring?

Expert Answer:
When the spring is released all the potential energy stored in the compressed spring gets converted to kinetic energy.
By using principle of consvervation of energy,
Total energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy
Thus,
P.E. = K.E.
Thus, the elastic potential energy when spring was compressed is 1 Joule.
