Energy in a Spring Graphing Question 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. Sketch a graph of the car's kinetic energy from the moment it is released until it passes the equilibrium position of the spring. Your graph should be consistent with the given plots of total energy (gray line in graphing window) and potential energy (gray parabola in graphing window).
