Question is from TBR Physics work energy chapter passage 8 number 55.
Attached is the question and the answer provided. Now my question is could they have used W=F*x where F would be the restoring force of a spring. I used 1/2mv^2=kx*x therefore v=x so the graph is linear. I guess I want to really know why they used PE of a spring.
