Answer:

Potential energy to kinetic energy, and total energy is conserved

Explanation:

As we know that potential energy of the spring

[tex]PE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]

so here we know

k = spring constant

x = stretch of spring

now we know that when spring is released from its compressed position then the potential energy of spring will convert into kinetic energy

Since there is no friction force or resistance force so here we can say that total energy is always conserved in it

So here correct answer will be

Potential energy to kinetic energy, and total energy is conserved
