Answer:
Explanation:
a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²
500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,
k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m
b )
k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m
Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J
This energy gets dissipated by friction .
work done by friction = μ mg d
d is the distance traveled under friction
so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2
μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴ or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .
Gravitational potential energy is an object that possesses because of its position in a gravitational field
The answer is the letter "C" ( I have honors science I am good at this type of stuff )
Hope I helped :) ( ask me for help when u need it :)
