Question
A spring is compressed and released. The pictures show the spring before and after it is released.
Before After
Which best describes the energy transformation that occurs?
A
The total energy remains constant because the potential energy of the compressed spring is transformed into kinetic energy.
B
The total energy remains constant because the kinetic energy of the compressed spring is transformed into potential energy.
C
The total energy is decreased because the potential energy of the compressed spring is lost to kinetic energy.
D
The total energy is decreased because the kinetic energy of the compressed spring is lost to potential energy.
