Explanation / Answer

given force constant = k = 440.0N/m potrntial energy = 1/2kx2 (a) when x = 3.82cm = 0.0382m                          p.E= 1/2 *440* (0.0382)2 = 0.32J (b) when x = 2.96cm = 0.0296m             p.E = 1/2 * 440 * (0.0296)2 = 0.19J (c) when spring is un strecthed the potential energy iszero (a) when x = 3.82cm = 0.0382m                          p.E= 1/2 *440* (0.0382)2 = 0.32J (b) when x = 2.96cm = 0.0296m             p.E = 1/2 * 440 * (0.0296)2 = 0.19J (c) when spring is un strecthed the potential energy iszero
