The force constant of the spring in a child’s toy car is 550 N/m. How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring if the spring is compressed a distance of 0.012m?
The formula for spring force is F =kx
When I do 550 x 0.012m I get 6.6 but I am supposed to round my answer four decimal places so I must be doing something wrong.
