The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.
The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so

. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until

is

And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a molecule, atoms are bonded together by single, double, or triple bonds. An atom has a nucleus surrounded by electrons. ... So another difference between atoms and molecules is that when similar atoms combine together in varying numbers, molecules of different properties can be formed.
Answer:
Honestly i think the answer is B
Explanation:
Answer:
A. The number of valence electrons increases by 1.
Explanation:
As you move across any period on the periodic table, the number of valence electrons increases by a value of 1.
- The periodic table of elements contains an arrangement of element by their atomic numbers.
- From left to right, number of valence electrons increases.
- Down a group, the valence electrons are the same.
- Across a period, the number of valence electrons increases.
