Answer:
0.144 J
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question above,
Total elastic energy of the spring = Kinetic energy of the spring + potential energy of the spring
E' = E.k+Ep...................... Equation 1
Ek = E'-Ep......................... Equation 2
Where E' = total elastic energy, E.k = kinetic energy, E.p = potential energy.
E' = 1/2ke² = 1/2(26.6)(0.12²) = 0.19152 J.
Ep = 1/2ke² = 1/2(26.6)(0.06²)
Ep = 0.04788 J
Therefore,
Ek = 0.19152-0.04788
Ek = 0.144 J
