Two springs have spring constants $k_{A}$ and $k_{B}$ such that $k_{A} > k_{B}$. If both springs are stretched by the same extension $x$,the work required will be:

  • A
    more in spring $A$
  • B
    more in spring $B$
  • C
    equal in both
  • D
    nothing can be said

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 $m$?
