A spring extends by .16 meters when pulled with 20 N of Force. What is the Potential Energy in the spring at this extension? What is the work done to extend the spring. 16 meters?

Potential energy = 1.6 J

Work done = -1.6 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy in the spring at this extension?

The potential energy U in the spring is U = 1/2kx² where k = spring constant = F/x where F = force = 20 N and x = extension = 0.16 m. So k = 20 N/0.16 m = 125 N/m

U = 1/2kx²

= 1/2 × 125 N/m × (0.16 m)²

= 1.6 J

What is the work done to extend the spring. 16 meters

Work done W = U₁ - U₂ where U₁ = initial potential energy = 0 and U₂ = final potential energy = 1.6 J

W = 0 - 1.6 J

   = -1.6 J

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
