Question

A ball is connected to a light spring suspended vertically. When pulled downward from its equilibrium position and released, the ball oscillates up and down. In the system of the ball and the spring, what forms of energy are there during the motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

The forms of energy involved are

1. Kinetic energy

2. Potential energy

Explanation:

The system consists of a ball initially at rest. The ball is pulled down from its equilibrium position (this builds up its potential energy) and then released. The released ball oscillates due to a continuous transition between kinetic and potential energy.
