A body is suspended from a spring hanging vertically. The body is then pulled downward so the spring stretches. Consider the change in the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring and the change in gravitational potential energy (GPE) as the body is pulled down.

A common experience is to find that a steady pull is required to keep an object moving, even on a level surface, when friction is present. Analyzing this experience in light of the laws of motion, the accepted conclusion is that
