A spring with constant 559 N/m is 0.14 meters long when not stretched or compressed. You compress the spring until it is 0.07 meters long. How many joules of elastic potential energy are stored in the compressed spring

1.46755 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

E = 1/2ke² Equation 1

Where E = Elastic potential energy of the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension

From the question,

Gieven: k = 559 N/m, e = (0.14-0.07) meters = 0.07 meters

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 1/2(599×0.07²)

E = 2.9351/2

E = 1.46755 Joules

it about 600 mph from what i calculated

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
