Answer:

distance of compression: 0.07071 m

Explanation:

[tex]\sf energy = \dfrac{1}{2} kx^2[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 0.5= \dfrac{1}{2} (200)x^2[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 0.5= (100)x^2[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 5\ *\ 10^{-3}= x^2[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf x = \sqrt{5\ *\ 10^{-3}}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf x =0.07071 \ m[/tex]
