  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 2 kg block is attached to a spring with k = 50 N/m. If it is displaced by 0.1 m, what is the elastic potential energy?

    • A) 0.25 J
    • B) 0.5 J
    • C) 0.1 J
    • D) 1 J

    Answer: 0.25 J

    Explanation: Elastic potential energy = 0.5 * k * x^2 = 0.5 * 50 N/m * (0.1 m)^2 = 0.25 J. Option B is incorrect due to miscalculation.
