Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.

Answer:
Work done, W = 0.0219 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m
Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m
We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :
W = 0.0219 J
So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
