Hello,
I am self studying physics and am a bit confused with Hooke's law.
Using the conservation of energy equation:
(PE+KE)_i = (PE+KE)_f
I don't see why the springs potential energy (½ kx^2) goes in the final part.
Could someone please explain?
EDIT: Also, (I'm a new user) can you type in LaTeX on here?
