Answer:
0.102 m
Explanation:
k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m
m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg
x = maximum extension of the spring
h = height dropped by the block = x
Using conservation of energy
Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost
(0.5) k x² = mgh
(0.5) k x² = mgx
(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)
x = 0.102 m
