The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35% of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists find that (on average) the knee extensor tendons in sprinters stretch 42 mm while those of nonathletes stretch only 35 mm. The spring constant of the tendon is the same for both groups, 33 N/mm. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathletes? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. ▸ View Available Hint(s) |ī| μA N ?

A Jack-in-a-box is a children's toy, where a doll (the "jack"), attached to a compressed spring, is secured in a closed box. The box is resting on a smooth horizontal surface when it is knocked over, causing the lid of the box to open. The energy stored in the spring is released and the doll is propelled out of the box along the horizontal surface. If the spring has a spring-constant 36 N/m, how much energy (in Joules) was stored in the spring if the base of the doll moves 0.9 m out of the box.
