25 1. In Excel, plot a graph of Potential Energy vs. Displacement and a graph of Potential Energy vs. (Displacement)2 to determine what relationship exists between the Potential Energy and displacement (linear or quadratic). Include the two graphs in the space below.
Therefore, the relation between potential energy and displacement is QUADRATIC in nature because the graph is linear when potential energy is plotted against the square of the displacement.
