Question

how springs help these devices function
car suspension mechanism: when a car wheel hits a bump, the spring compresses, absorbing the energy so it doesnt go straight to the p to its normal position. this keeps the ride smooth and safe. the spring force is directly related to the bump f proportional).
pen mechanism: in a ballpoint pen, when you click it, a spring is pushed down and compressed. this creates a force that helps you press. the spring returns to its shape after every press, making the pen reusable again and again.

Explanation:

1. In a car's suspension system, as described, the spring compresses when the wheel hits a bump, absorbing the energy to make the ride smooth.
2. Both the car - suspension spring and pen spring stretch or compress to perform their functions. The car - spring compresses on bumps and the pen - spring compresses when clicked.
