the potential energy stored in a spring that is compressed or stretched is given by the formula U=\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )kx^{2} where U is the potential energy, k is the spring constant, and x is the distance that the spring is compressed or stretched. Therefore, if the spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy stored in the spring will be \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )kx^{2}
