What happens when a force is used to deform an object in terms of energy and work?
When a force deforms an object, energy is transferred into it and work is done on it.

What is special about springs when they are deformed by a force?

What is Hooke's Law?
Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it.

What is the formula for Hooke's law?
Force (N) = spring constant x extension (m), or F = k x e.

What is the limitation of Hooke's Law?
Hooke's Law only applies up to a certain maximum force. Beyond this point, the relationship between force and extension is no longer linear.

What happens to a spring in equilibrium?
When a spring is in equilibrium, the forces are balanced, so the spring remains stationary.
