A spring is compressed 0.03m calculate the energy stored in the spring if the constant is 300N/M

Answer 1

To calculate the energy stored in a spring, we can use the formula:

E = (1/2)kx^2

Where:
E is the energy stored in the spring
k is the spring constant (300 N/m in this case)
x is the displacement or compression of the spring (0.03 m in this case)

Substituting the given values into the formula:

E = (1/2)(300 N/m)(0.03 m)^2

E = (1/2)(300 N/m)(0.0009 m^2)

E = (0.5)(300 N/m)(0.0009 m^2)

E = (0.5)(0.27 N)(m)

E = 0.135 Joules

Therefore, the energy stored in the spring when it is compressed by 0.03 m is 0.135 Joules.
