Elastic Potential Energy Formula:

Step 1: Define

k = 150 N/m

Δx = 14 cm

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Unit Conversion 100 cm = 1 m

Step 3: Convert

Δx = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Step 4: Find Energy

answer: 0.20

explanation: this can only be the answew because all the other measuremnets are not close

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
