I know that, but I want to understand it with the work energy theorem. I don't really understand it.PeroK said:

Is it .5kx^2 = mgh so h= kx^2 / 2mgPeroK said:

Energy is the ability of a system to do work or cause change. It can exist in many forms, such as mechanical, thermal, nuclear, chemical, and electromagnetic.
An energy problem is any situation in which there is a discrepancy between the amount of energy available and the amount needed to perform a desired task or achieve a desired outcome.
The first step in solving an energy problem is to identify the type of energy involved and understand its properties and behavior. Then, using relevant equations and principles, you can calculate the energy needed and compare it to the available energy to determine if a solution is possible.
Some common energy problems in everyday life include high energy bills due to inefficient appliances or heating/cooling systems, running out of gas or electricity while using a vehicle or electronic device, and finding renewable energy sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Understanding energy problems can lead to more efficient use of resources, reduced energy consumption and costs, and development of sustainable energy solutions. It also helps us make informed decisions about energy policies and conservation efforts to protect the environment.
