This is the equation for elastic potential energy, where U is potential energy, x is the displacement of the end of the spring, and k is the spring constant.
<span> U = (1/2)kx^2
</span><span> U = (1/2)(5.3)(3.62-2.60)^2
</span> U = <span>
<span>2.75706 </span></span>J
The solution is:
Paige's force is (somewhat) against the direction of motion: Work = F * d Where F is the force; andd is the distance
Our f is 64 N and our distance is 20 and -3.6Plugging that in our equation will give us:
= 64N * cos20º * -3.6m = -217 J
The train would need the greatest amount of force due to weight! If you think of it, a baseball won't need much force to stop it, but if you have a heavy train, it will need excessive force to stop the train. The answer would be #3
I hope this answer helps!
Sorry if it doesn't make sense, as I don't know that much about physics! I am just thinking of what makes sense.
Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body.
