What is the physical representation of the area under a force versus extension or compression curve?

a. acceleration
b. kinetic energy
c. velocity
d. potential energy
e. none of the above

The compression curve would be theoretically given for a system of bodies in which the spring applies the force (Although in the same way the following process can be extrapolated to any system, depending on the type of Force to consider) For a spring mass system, the strength is given by Hooke's law as

Where,

K  = Spring constant

x = Displacement

If we integrate based on distance we would have

This integral represents the area under the Force Curve based on each distance segment traveled.

This is the same formula that represents the elastic potential energy of a body. Therefore the correct answer is D.

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !
