A force of 20 N compresses a spring with a spring constant 50 N/m. How much energy is stored in the spring?

4J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states:

F = -kx

where F = force

k = spring constant

x = displacement of spring

20 = -(50)x

-20/50 = x = -2/5

We can now use this information to find the energy in the Elastic Potential Energy Formula which is...

1/2(k)(x)^2

1/2(50)(2/5)^2 = 4J

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.

explanation:

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.
