It not really a problem, I was wondering if that equation could be used for solving for x in the equation mgh+mgx=1/2kx^2 (vertical spring equation) i think it was, since mgh=potential energy and 1/2kx^2=potential energy when a spring is compressed shouldn't they be equal to each other?
Yes they are massless springs with no friction, and I am not sure on the specifics of how we measure x and h. Also I realize everyone makes mistakes, even teachers, I just wanted to make sure if he was right or not.
Alright I am in a high school physics course and my teacher isn't always correct. I asked him if the potential energy for an object at its maximum height after being launched from a spring is equal to that of the potential energy when the object is compressing the spring most(right before it is...
