Question

38.A student pushes a 0.15 kg box down against a spring doing 25 J of work on the spring. The student releases the box which launches the box into the air. What is the maximum height reached by the box assuming negligible frictional forces

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy stored in the spring = 25 J

This energy is converted into gravitational potential energy . If h be the height attained

gravitational potential energy = mgh

mgh = 25

.15 x 9.8 x h = 25

h = 17 m
