A2.14 kg block resting on a frictionless surface is attached to an ideal spring with spring constant k = 252 nm . the block is pushed to compress the spring by 9.08 cm from its equilibrium position. while the spring is being compressed, find (a) the work done by the spring and (b) the work done by the applied force.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
