Part A Scallops use muscles to close their shells. Opening the shell is another story--muscles can only pull, they can't push. Instead of muscles, the shell is opened by a spring, a pad of a very elastic biological material called abductin. When the shell closes, the pad compresses; a restoring force then pushes the shell back open. The energy to How much elastic potential energy is stored? Express your answer with the appropriate units. open the shell comes from the elastic energy that was stored when the shell was closed. (Figure 1) shows smoothed data for the restoring force of an abductin pad versus the compression. When the shell closes, the pad compresses by 0.15 mm. μΑ Us = Value Units
