a child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring. the spring is compressed against the floor a distance of 2.0 cm and released. if the spring constant is 85 N/m, what is the magnitude of the spring force acting on the toy at the moment it is released.

Answer:

1.7N

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = kx

Where x = spring compression and

K = spring constant

K =85N/m

x = 2.0cm / 100

= 0.02m

Force = 85 x 0.02

= 1.7N
