Newtons third law (inertia) is to blame
Answer:
The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm
new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm
applied force on the spring, F = 40 N
extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm
From Hook's law
Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
F ∝ e
F = ke
where;
k is the spring constant
k = F / e
k = 40 / 0.04
k = 1000 N/m
Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>
- Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
- The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).
Solution:
mass = 5.10 kg
height = 18.5 mm
We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,
Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system
W = 
W = mg (h₀ - h₁)
W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5
W = 924.63 J

1. Resonance. Mechanical waves act on or through a medium, these waves can often have frequencies that are synchronized in a way that makes them act on the matter in the medium more "aggressively."
