The potential energy, [tex]P[/tex], in a spring is represented using the formula [tex]P=\frac{1}{2} k x^2[/tex]. Lupe uses an equivalent equation, which is solved for [tex]k[/tex], to determine the answers to her homework.
Which equation should she use?
A. [tex]k=2 P x^2[/tex]
B. [tex]k=\frac{1}{2} P x^2[/tex]
C. [tex]k=\frac{2 P}{x^2}[/tex]
D. [tex]k=\frac{P}{2 x^2}[/tex]
