Two carts connected by a 0.25 m spring hit a wall, compressing the spring to 0.1 m. The spring constant k is 100 N m . What is the elastic potential energy stored from the spring's compression?

Given that,

Initial position of the spring, x₁ = 0.25 m

Final position of the spring, x₂ = 0.1 m

The spring constant of the spring, k = 100 N/m

To find,

The elastic potential energy stored from the spring's compression.

Solution,

The work done in moving a spring from on position to another is stored in the form of elastic potential energy. It can be given as follows :

So, the required energy is 2.62 J.

c)as speed changes, wavelength and frequency change.

everything changes!

answer: 802.3 kilo joules of energy represents 191.75 kilo calorie of energy.

explanation:

energy released during combustion of one mole methane = 802.3 kilo joules

if 1 kilo joule = 0.239006   kilo calorie

then ,802.3 kilo joule will be = 802.30.239006 kilo calorie

802.3 kilo joule = 191.75 kilo calorie

hence, the energy in kilo calorie is 191.75 kilo calorie.
