You have a vertical metal rod, a spring with one end closed andthe other end open so that it can slide down over the rod and thenfly up when released, and a meter stick. The mass of the spring is15g and its spring constant k is 6 N/m Your group decides to testthe work-energy principle by stretching the spring a distance Dy =30 cm, releasing it from rest and measuring how high it goes. Useyour understanding of energy to predict how high the spring willgo. Discuss what assumptions are being made in making yourprediction. PLEASE INCLUDE FORCE DIAGRAM AND COORDINATE SYSTEM.
