It should be A sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
a

b
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The total mass of three people is 
The mass of the car is 
The compression of the car spring is 
Generally the spring constant is mathematically represented as

Here F is the force exerted by the mass of three people and that of the car , this is mathematically represented as
=> 
=> ![F = ([2.0*10^{2} ]+[ 1.200*10^{3}]) * 9.8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20%28%5B2.0%2A10%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D%2B%5B%201.200%2A10%5E%7B3%7D%5D%29%20%2A%209.8)
=> 
So

=> 
Generally if the mass which the car is loaded with is 
Then the force experienced by the spring is
=> 
=> 
=> 
Generally from the above formula the compression is

=> 
=>
Answer:
A principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be altered from one form to another.
Explanation:
Answer:
<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
Explanation:
Hook's Law
From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring
E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1
making e the subject of the equation,
e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2
Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.
Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.
E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²
E = 225(0.12)²
E = 3.24 J.
When the potential energy is doubled,
I.e E = 2×3.24
E = 6.48 J.
Substituting into equation 2,
e = √(2×6.48/450)
e = √0.0288
e = 0.1697 m
<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>
<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
