What holds combinations of atoms together in molecules?

Aspring has a natural length of 8 m. if a 12-n force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 10 m, how much work w is required to stretch it from 8 m to 16 m? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

Suppose that 27 j of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 6 m to a length of 9 m. (a) how much work is needed to stretch the spring from 12 m to 14 m? j (b) how far beyond its natural length will a force of 78 n keep the spring stretched?

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.
