A student pushed a toy car along a level track toward a spring. The car collided with the spring, causing the spring to compress. After the spring decompressed, the car traveled backward a short distance before stopping. Which statement accurately explains the energy transformation that occurred during the collision with the spring?
As the car is compressing the spring, elastic potential energy in the spring is converted to kinetic energy in the car.
As the car is compressing the spring, kinetic energy in the car is converted to elastic potential energy in the spring.
As the spring is releasing, kinetic energy in the car is converted to elastic potential energy in the spring.
As the spring is releasing, kinetic energy in the spring is converted to kinetic energy in the car.

This is a diagram of a system that includes a girl and Earth. In the first picture, the girl sits on the motionless swing. Then she pushes herself backwards. In the second picture, the girl moves forward on the swing. The swing moves the girl back and forth. Which of these best describes when the system has the greatest gravitational potential energy?
when the girl is seated on the motionless swing.
when the swing is at its highest point above the ground and begins moving down.
when the swing is at its lowest point above the ground and begins moving up.
when the swing is moving at a constant speed.
