How does the Elastic get the Potential Energy?
by David Gleeson
Students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator, graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their linear line and then, hopefully, derive the equation for Elastic Potential Energy.
