he potential energy, P, in a spring is represented using the formula P = kx2. Lupe uses an equivalent equation, which is solved for k, to determine the answers to her homework.


Which equation should she use?

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

k = 2Px2
k = Px2
k = 2p/x^2
k = x/2x^2

The equation should she use is k = 2p/x^2

Answer:

\(k=\frac{P}{x^2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula of potential energy,

\(P=kx^2\)

For finding the formula for k,

We need to isolate k,

Divide both sides of the equation by \(x^2\)

We get,

\(\frac{P}{x^2}=\frac{kx^2}{x^2}\)

\(\frac{P}{x^2}=k\)

Hence, the required formula would be,

\(k=\frac{P}{x^2}\)
