The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200 N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug-of-war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200 N force.
How far does the spring stretch? Explain.
A sprinter accelerates from rest. Is the work done on the sprinter positive, negative, or zero? Explain
