A block is hung from a spring that is vertical and connected to the ceiling. The block is made to oscillate vertically. Call the initial state when the block is at its highest position and the final state when the block is at its equilibrium position. For each defined system below, tell whether the energy is constant or not constant: System: block + ceiling (+ spring) + Earth System: block + Earth System: block
