Question 21 • TX-Physics A

An object that is 0.5 m above the ground has the same amount of potential energy as a spring that is stretched 0.5 m. Each distance is then doubled.

Answer
A
The gravitational potential energy of the object will be two times greater than the elastic potential energy of the spring.
B
The elastic potential energy of the spring will be four times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object.
C
The elastic potential energy of the spring will be two times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object.
D
The potential energies will remain equal to one another.
