Hello There

Answers: The elastic potential energy can be increased by: 

1) Getting a spring with a higher spring constant

2) Increasing the length at which the spring is compressed.

Reasons: Getting a stronger spring makes it stronger which equals more energy. While increasing the compression on the spring, increases the stored energy which makes it more powerful when its released

I hope this helps

Getting a stiffer spring (one with a higher spring constant) and increasing the length at which the spring is compressed. 
Hope this helps.

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}$
