80 joule is momentarily stored in each spring
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
The coil springs on a car's suspension have a value of k = 64000 N/m
When the car strikes a bump the springs briefly compress by 5.0 cm (.05 m)
By compressing the spring, we apply a force over a distance
As a result we have done work on the spring
Doing work means that we have transferred energy to spring in form of elastic potential
Therefore,
k = 64000 N/m
x = 0.05m
<em><u>The elastic potential energy is given as:</u></em>
Where, "k" is the spring constant and "x" is the displacement
Thus 80 joule is momentarily stored in each spring
