    [Problem] Elastic potential energy

    I took g=10ms because the docent told us that we "have" to use it. At high school I've learned it's 9,81 but for some reason we may just use 10. Today I've had the chance to experiment at school before the lesson began (my hall at home is not long enough). This assignment was due today (we had...

    [Problem] Elastic potential energy

    Hi, You have very good points there! I didn't thought about that.. Isn't the serie of rubber bands acts as one big band? Did I made a mistake when calculating the spring constant with a bottle of water? About the friction; I had this feeling that if there's more loose material, there's more...

    [Problem] Elastic potential energy

    Hi, Thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it!Another thing popped up in my head now. Does the fact that the rubber bands are in series makes any difference? I'm also wondering if there's any way to calculate the the best ratio of maximum travel distance and amount of rubber bands...

    [Problem] Elastic potential energy

    Hi, I'm a second year Design Engineering student. This year we're having some basic physics class. We're doing projects on potential energy at this moment. I'm having a problem with the following; The assignment: The teacher assigned us that only 6 Joules of potential energy may be used to...
