Answer:
No,
Explanation:
An electromagnetic wave is made of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that continually induce each other; matter is not needed for this to occur.
Energy in a spring:
E = 0.5 * k * x²
k spring constant = 800 n/m
x stretch of the spring = 5 cm = 0.05 m
E = 0.5 * 800 * 0.05² = 1
Since you already gave us the weight of the 2.5-kg box,
we don't even need to know what the distance is, just
as long as it doesn't change.
Look at the formula for the gravitational force:
F = G m₁ m₂ / R² .
If 'G', 'm₁' (mass of the Earth), and 'R' (distance from the Earth's center)
don't change, then the Force is proportional to m₂ ... mass of the box,
and you can write a simple proportion:
(6.1 N) / (2.5 kg) = (F) / (1 kg)
Cross-multiply: (6.1 N) (1 kg) = (F) (2.5 kg)
Divide each side by (2.5 kg): F = (6.1N) x (1 kg) / (2.5 kg) = 2.44 N .
