/m. How far must the spring be compressed for 3.50 J of potential energy to be stored in it? Express your answer in meters to three significant figures. z = 6.24×10-2 m Submit Previous Answers Correct IDENTIFY: The elastic potential energy of the spring is proportional to the square of compression lengt SET UP: Ua =kz? EXECUTE: U =kz? 2(3.50 J) 1800 N/m 2U so I= 6.24 × 10-2 m Part B You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a m = 1.30 kg book onto it from a heig h = 0.800 m above the top of the spring. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed. Express your answer in meters to three significant figures. ? =P

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The p…
