The spring of the child’s pistol is compressed by 4cm with a force of 30N. What is the potential

The spring of the child’s pistol is compressed by 4cm with a force of 30N. What is the potential energy of a compressed spring?

Initial data: Δx (compression of the spring of a child’s pistol) = 4 cm (0.04 m); F (force that compresses the spring) = 30 N.

The potential energy of the compressed spring of a children’s pistol is determined by the formula: En = 0.5 * k * Δx ^ 2 = 0.5 * (F / Δx) * Δx ^ 2 = 0.5 * F * Δx.

Calculation: Ep = 0.5 * 30 * 0.04 = 0.6 J.

Answer: The potential energy of the spring of a children’s pistol is 0.6 J.
