Question
When a 10.0 kg stone is placed on a spring it displaces the spring 7.1 cm. If the spring is pushed down another 30 cm and then released, how high above the release point does the stone go (in meters)? Use g = 10 N/kg. Hint: Determine k using the force and displacement information given.

Introduction:
The principle of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed. The common forms of energy include thermal, electrical, chemical, mechanical, kinetic, and potential. It may also be stated that the sum of all kinds of energy is constant.
