What is the unit of work in SI system?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Joule ;)

Explanation:

In the case of work (and also energy), the standard metric unit is the Joule (abbreviated J). One Joule is equivalent to one Newton of force causing a displacement of one meter. In other words, The Joule is the unit of work.

Hope this helps!

The spring of a toy car is wound by pushing the car
Zepler [3.9K]

The elastic potential energy stored in the car's spring during the process is 3.75 J

<h3>Determination of the spring constant</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Force (F) = 15 N
  • Extention (e) = 0.5 m
  • Spring constant (K) =?

K = F/e

K = 15 / 0.5

K = 30 N/m

<h3>Determination of the potential energy</h3>
  • Spring constant (K) = 30 N/m
  • Extention (e) = 0.5 m
  • Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = ½Ke²

PE = ½ × 30 × 0.5²

PE = 15 × 0.25

PE = 3.75 J

Therefore, the elastic potential energy stored in the car's spring during the process is 3.75 J
