Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E = 3.26 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 5.2 N/m

Relaxed length of the spring, X = 2.45 m

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, the vertical length of the spring is, x' = 3.57 m

To find,

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

Solution,

The extension in the length of the spring is given by :

x=x'-X

x=3.57\ m-2.45\ m

x = 1.12 m

The elastic potential energy of the spring is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5.2\times (1.12)^2

E = 3.26 J

So, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 3.26 joules.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

100 newtons

Explanation:

Given,

Jamal pushing a large box by a force, F = 100 N

Work done on the large box is, W = 0

It is because the applied force is less than the force of the friction between the two surfaces.

Yet, there will be a force that is exerted by the large box on Jamal.

According to newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction force is in the direction opposite to the force of action. But, their magnitude remains the same.

                                        F_{a} =-F_{r}

Hence, If the action force is 100 N, then the reaction force should be in 100 N
