An elastic wire suspended from a workbench has a 2kg mass attached to its free end. The wire changes in length by 2cm. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the wire.

Using Hooke's law (F = k * e) we can find the spring constant. Rearranging for k, we find that k = (9.81 * 2)/0.02 = 981 N/m. To calculate this we needed to find the force acting on the wire (F = mg) and ...

Why does the first ionisation energy of atoms generally increase across a period?

The first ionisation energy is defined as the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from each atom of a mole of gaseous atoms. As we go along a period in the periodic table, the atomic number in...
