I have to provide four energy changes taking place in the following diagram, where the spring is oscillating.

The Attempt at a Solution



I know there is elastic potential energy and kinetic energy involved but i would be happier to understand this more.

thank you

Take each of the pieces of "equipment" in the diagram and try to list the types of energy they can have or store.
