Thank you, I didn't put gravity to my equation. After I did, I got the right result.haruspex said:
Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or configuration. It is often associated with the ability of an object to do work or create change.
A spring's potential energy is the energy stored within a spring when it is stretched or compressed. It is a form of elastic potential energy and is dependent on the spring's stiffness and displacement.
The potential energy stored in a spring is directly proportional to the spring's stiffness. This means that a stiffer spring will have a greater potential energy compared to a less stiff spring, for the same amount of displacement.
The potential energy of a spring is affected by its stiffness, the amount of displacement, and the mass attached to the spring. The more the spring is stretched or compressed, and the heavier the mass attached, the greater the potential energy will be.
When a spring is released, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring and attached mass begin to move. Friction and air resistance may also convert some of the potential energy into heat energy. In some cases, the potential energy of a spring may also be converted into electrical energy, such as in a spring-powered clock.
