When a spring is stretched by $2 \ cm$,the potential energy stored is $U$. If it is stretched by $10 \ cm$,the potential energy stored will be:

  • A
    $U / 25$
  • B
    $U / 5$
  • C
    $5 U$
  • D
    $25 U$

To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a smooth road and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?
