Elastic Potential Energy

L’énergie potentielle élastique est l’énergie stockée dans un objet flexible en raison d’une déformation causée par une force externe. Par exemple, lorsqu’un arc est étiré, l’énergie potentielle élastique est stockée dans l’arc.
Mathématiquement, il est défini comme le produit de la force nécessaire pour déformer l’objet et du déplacement causé par la force. Ainsi, en utilisant la loi de Hooke, l’énergie potentielle élastique d’un arc étiré d’une distance x peut être exprimée comme 1/2 kx au carré, où k est la constante de ressort.
Enfin, considérons le cas où un corps est suspendu à une extrémité d’un ressort, qui est fixé à l’autre extrémité, comme indiqué. Le corps présente à la fois de l’énergie potentielle gravitationnelle et élastique. Ici, l’énergie potentielle totale, U, est la somme de l’énergie potentielle gravitationnelle et élastique.

Énergie potentielle élastique

L'énergie potentielle élastique est l'énergie stockée en raison de la déformation d'un objet élastique, comme l'étirement d'un ressort. Un objet est élastique s'il retrouve sa forme et sa taille d'origine après avoir été déformé.

L'énergie potentielle est également associée à la force élastique exercée par un ressort idéal. Le travail effectué par cette force peut être représenté comme un changement d'énergie potentielle élastique du ressort. Ainsi, le travail effectué par un ressort parfaitement élastique, en une dimension, dépend uniquement de la constante du ressort et des carrés des déplacements par rapport à la position non étirée. Ce travail ne concerne que les propriétés d'une interaction selon la loi de Hooke, dans laquelle une force de rappel est proportionnelle et opposée au déplacement imposé, et non les propriétés des vrais ressorts et des objets qui y sont attachés. Par conséquent, la différence d'énergie potentielle élastique pour une force de ressort peut être définie comme le négatif du travail effectué par la force du ressort.

Un système simple incarnant à la fois l'énergie potentielle gravitationnelle et élastique est un système masse-ressort unidimensionnel et vertical. Il se compose d'une particule massive (ou d'un bloc) suspendu à une extrémité d'un ressort parfaitement élastique et sans masse, dont l'autre extrémité est fixe.

spring force and stored energy

Elastic potential energy is stored when an elastic object is deformed, such as when a spring is stretched. An object is elastic if it returns to its original shape and size after the force is removed. This stored energy is part of a system’s potential energy.

An ideal spring also exerts an elastic force. The work done by this force can be described as a change in the spring’s elastic potential energy. For a perfectly elastic spring in one dimension, that work depends only on the spring constant and the square of the displacement from the unstretched position.

This relationship follows Hooke’s law, where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement and points in the opposite direction. It describes the spring interaction itself, not the properties of a real spring or the objects attached to it. The change in elastic potential energy is defined as the negative of the work done by the spring force.

A simple example that combines gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy is a one-dimensional vertical mass-spring system. In this setup, a block or other massive particle hangs from one end of a perfectly elastic, massless spring, while the other end is fixed. This model helps show how both types of potential energy can act in the same system.

Spring Force and Stored Energy

gravitational potential energy

Gravitational Energy from Height and Weight

Gravitational potential energy depends on an object’s weight and its height above the ground. It is one part of the total potential energy of a system, which comes from the interactions between objects. In a system, the total potential energy is the sum of the potential energies for all the objects. Potential energy is usually grouped into two main categories: gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. Gravitational potential energy describes the energy tied to a body’s...

conservation of mechanical energy

Mechanical Energy in Isolated Systems

Mechanical energy in an isolated system is the total of kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and potential energy is stored energy. The transcript focuses on what happens when energy shifts within a system without outside influence. In this case, only conservative forces act on the objects in the system. Conservative forces can transfer energy between kinetic energy and potential energy. Friction and drag do not act here, and no external force from...

work done on a system by external force

External Work, Energy, and Thermal Loss

External work on a system can change its energy in more than one way. For a single particle, work done by an external force changes kinetic energy. For a system of interacting particles, internal forces also matter, and potential energy helps describe their effect. The net work done by an external force can be written as the total change in mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy and potential energy. When the system gains or loses this energy, the work expression...

conservative forces

Conservative Forces and Path Independence

Conservative forces are forces for which the work done depends only on the starting and ending points. In this case, the work is path independent. That means the total energy of the system, including kinetic energy and potential energy, stays conserved during the change. This idea follows the law of conservation of energy. When energy shifts between kinetic and potential forms, the total amount remains the same. Because the work is completely reversible, an object can start and stop at any two...

non-conservative forces

Friction and Energy Loss in Motion

Non-conservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, remove energy from a system as it moves. The energy is not stored as potential energy. Instead, it is lost from the system and cannot be used later for useful work. These forces are path-dependent, which means the route matters. Where an object starts and stops can change the work done. A grinding wheel is one example, because the work depends on how many rotations the wheel makes. Non-conservative forces also turn large-scale...

conservation of energy

Energy Changes in a Closed System

Energy changes in a closed system follow a conservation law in physics. A conserved quantity is not the same as the everyday use of the word "conserved." In science, a conserved quantity stays constant, or it changes by a definite amount that is transferred to another system and converted into another form of the same quantity. This means a conserved quantity can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed in a strict physical sense. For that reason, physics does not have a law of...

conservation of energy: application

Energy Conservation Problem-Solving Steps

Energy conservation problem-solving uses a clear set of steps. First, identify the system you want to study. In many cases, that system includes more than one body at the same time. Next, identify the forces acting on the object and decide whether each force is conservative. A conservative force is one whose work can be described with potential energy. If a non-conservative force such as friction does work, then mechanical energy is not conserved, and the system must be analyzed with...

force and potential energy in one dimension

force-and-potential-energy-in-one-dimension

Finding Force from Potential Energy

Force can be found from potential energy when the energy is written as a function of position. For a conservative force, the force component in a given direction equals the negative derivative of the matching potential energy with respect to displacement. This means force and the slope of potential energy have opposite signs. Where potential energy changes quickly with displacement, the force and the work done are largest. When a force acts along the positive coordinate axis, potential energy...

Gradient Force from 3D Potential Energy

Gradient force from 3D potential energy shows how a conservative force changes along the x, y, and z axes. The potential energy function U depends on all three spatial coordinates. Each force component is linked to how U changes with position along one coordinate. In one dimension, force can be written as the negative ratio of the change in potential energy to the displacement along that axis. For very small displacements, these ratios become derivatives. When a function has several variables,...

Potential Energy Diagrams and Stability

Potential energy diagrams help describe how a mechanical system moves. Because energy is a scalar quantity, the system’s behavior is easier to interpret from the diagram. A skater on a parabolic ramp is a clear example. The ramp height changes with horizontal position, so the potential energy changes as well. As the skater moves down from the highest point, potential energy changes into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The net force on the skater is gravitational force,...

energy diagrams - ii

Stability in Potential Energy Diagrams

Potential energy diagrams show how stable a system is at different positions. Their shape, or topology, helps identify equilibrium points. An equilibrium point is a place where the system can stay in balance because the net force is zero. At a local minimum, the potential energy is lowest. The system tends to remain there unless a net force acts on it. The slope at the minimum is zero. The slope is positive on both sides, so the force acts as a restoring force and pushes the system back. A...
