Elastic Potential Energy Calculator

Elastic Potential Energy

Calculate the energy stored in an elastic object, such as a spring, when it is compressed or stretched.

Potential Energy (U)
12.5000
Joules (J)

The Formula

U = ½ k x²
  • U = Elastic potential energy (J)
  • k = Spring constant (N/m)
  • x = Displacement from equilibrium (m)
