Answer:

The potential energy stored in the spring is 0.018 J.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 90 N/m

extension of the spring, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The potential energy stored in the spring is calculated as;

U = ¹/₂kx²

where;

U is the potential energy stored in the spring

Substitute the given values in the equation above;

U = ¹/₂  x  90 N/m  x  (0.02 m)²

U = 0.018 J

Therefore, the  potential energy stored in the spring is 0.018 J.
