when a car hits a hole in the road, the spring shown in the picture compresses by 20 mm.
the spring constant = 90kN/m
calculate the energy stored in the spring by this compression

when a car hits a hole in the road the spring shown in the picture compresses by 20 mm the spring constant 90kNm calculate the energy stored in the spring by th class=

Respuesta :

The energy that is stored in the spring is 0.018 J.

What is Hooke's law?

Hooke's law states that as long as the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension is directly proportional to the load.

Now we have the following;

The compression =  20 mm or 0.02 m

The spring constant = 90kN/m

Energy stored in the spring = 1/2Ke^2

= 1/2 *  90kN/m * (0.02 m)

= 0.018 J
