AP Physics 1· difficulty 4/5
A spring is compressed from natural length to displacement , then released. The work done BY the spring on the attached mass during release is
(spring force does positive work as it returns to natural length)
Explanation
Work-energy: spring's PE converts to KE of mass. Spring does positive work equal to .
