. A 7.9 kg object is suspended 10 m above the ground. Directly beneath it is a spring with a spring constant of 6500 N/m. Qualitatively describe what occurs to the energy of the system once the object is released? (Hint: Consider what occurs as the object falls, encounters the spring, and if it will go back up again!)
