Answer:
Explanation:
The PE equation for a mass/spring system is
[tex]PE=\frac{1}{2}k[/tex]Δx² and filling in:
[tex]130=\frac{1}{2}k(.10)^2[/tex] and
[tex]k=\frac{2(130)}{(.10)^2}[/tex] so
k = 26000 N/m
If the displacement from equilibrium changes more, the PE needed to compress it will also change.
[tex]PE=\frac{1}{2}(26000)(.20)^2[/tex] gives us that
PE = 520J
