Question

One end of a spring is attached to a flat ceiling and the other end of the spring is attached to a box, which is originally being held in place by a person's hand. After the person releases the box, the box moves toward the floor and the spring stretches.

a) Draw a diagram showing the energy transfers and transformations within and/or among the objects in this scenario after the box has been released - specifically the spring, the box, and any other objects you consider to be relevant. For each transfer and transformation that you indicate in your diagram, describe the mechanism or process by which that transfer or transformation takes place (e.g., metabolism, conduction, compression, etc.).
