Explanation:
We have,
Mass of an object is 0.5 kg
Force constant of the spring is 157 N/m
The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.19 m.
(A) The force acting on the object is given by :
F = kx

(B) The force is simply given by :
F = ma
a is acceleration at that instant

This is false because an object can also be pushed by force and isn't always have to be pulled by a force.
Yes, yes, we know all of that. It certainly took you long enough to
get around to asking your question.
If
a = (14, 10.5, 0)
and
b = (4.62, 9.45, 0) ,
then, to begin with, neither vector has a z-component, and they
both lie in the x-y plane.
Their dot-product a · b = (14 x 4.62) + (10.5 x 9.45) =
(64.68) + (99.225) = 163.905 (scalar)
I feel I earned your generous 5 points just reading your treatise and
finding your question (in the last line). I shall cherish every one of them.
can i get the question so that i can answer your question
