Answer:

Height above a surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.

It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.

It is given mathematically as:

P. E. = m*g*h

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height above a surface

m*g represents the weight of the object.

Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.

The spring constant will be k= 5.5N/m for a 200g air track glider attached to a spring.

<h3>What is spring constant?</h3>

The spring constant, k, is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. It is different for different springs and materials.

Calculation for What is the spring constant

First step is to calculate the time period

T = 12 second/10

T = 1.2 second

Now let calculate the spring constant using this formula

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}

Where,

m=0.2kg

T=1.2second

k represent spring constant=?

Let plug in the formula

k=\dfrac{4 \pi \times 0.2}{(1.2)^2}

k=\dfrac{39.48\times 0.2}{1.44}

k=\dfrac{7.90}{1.44}

k=5.48 N/m

k=5.5 N/m ( Approximately)

Therefore the spring constant will be 5.5 N/m
