A 2.40-kg object is hanging from the end of a vertical spring. The spring constant is 31.0 N/m. The object is pulled 0.200 m downward and released from rest. Complete the following table by calculating the translational kinetic energy, the gravitational potential energy, the elastic potential energy, and the total mechanical energy E for each of the vertical positions listed. The vertical positions h indicate distances above the point of release, where h = 0 m.
