300

It's the amount of potential energy when a 30 N/m spring is stretched 0.5 m.

What is 3.75 J

300

The kind of energy that a baseball has when it has been thrown in the air and it has just reached it's maximum height.

What is gravitational potential?

300
It's how much work is done when you push a box 3.0 m with 20 N of force.

What is 60 J?

300
A 60 watt bulb runs for 5 seconds. How much energy does it use??
What is 300 J
400

It is the spring constant of a spring that stretches 50 cm when a 20N force is applied to it.

What is 40 N/m?

400

A compressed spring has a potential energy of 18 J. If the spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m, it's the distance by which the spring is compressed.

What is 0.3 m?

400
