A toy car is held at rest against a compressed spring, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) When released, the car slides across the room. Let x = 0 be the initial position of the car. Assume that friction is negligible.
Part B
Sketch a plot of the elastic potential energy of the spring from the point at which the car is released to the equilibrium position of the spring. Make your graph consistent with the given plot of total energy (the gray line given in the graphing window).
