The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

where:
<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>
<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>
<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>
Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>
mass of object = m = 1.25 kg
initial extension = x = 0.0275 m
final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m
<u>Asked:</u>
kinetic energy = Ek = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>






<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

The force pushing down is the force of Gravity. On a chair it is in perfect balance with the force pushing up (the normal force)
in terms of magnitude
FN = FG = mg
the forces are in opposite direction

Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
The initial PE
= m×g×h
= 5 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 10 m
= 490.5 J
The change in Potential energy P.E of the box is:
ΔP.E = 
ΔP.E = 0 -
ΔP.E = 
If we take a look at conservation of total energy for determining the change in the internal energy of the box;


this can be re-written as:

Here, K.E = 0
Also, 70% goes into raising the internal energy for the box;
Thus,


ΔU = 343.35 J
Thus, the magnitude of the increase is = 343.35 J
