Answer:

Spring constant, k = 8740.89 N/m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Potential energy = 4.2 J

Extension, e = 3.1 cm to meters = 3.1/100 = 0.031 m

To find the spring constant;

Mathematically, the potential energy stored in a spring is given by the formula;

P.E = \frac {1}{2}Kx^{2}

Where;

P.E is potential energy.

K is the spring constant.

x is the extension of the spring.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

4.2 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.031^{2}

Cross-multiplying, we have;

8.4 = k*0.000961

k = \frac {8.4}{0.000961}

Spring constant, k = 8740.89 N/m

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J
