NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

If a spring with a spring constant k = 200 N/m is compressed by 0.05 m, what is the potential energy stored in the spring?

A

0.25 J

B

0.50 J

C

0.125 J

D

0.05 J

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The potential energy stored in a spring is given by the formula (1/2)kx^2. Using k = 200 N/m and x = 0.05 m, the potential energy is (1/2)200(0.05)^2 = 0.125 J.
