A toy rocket operates by having a spring-loaded tube which ejects a small model rocket when released. The spring inside has a spring constant k = 625N/m, the rocket has a mass of 0.100 kg, and the maximum compression of the spring is 0.18 m. Consider the system of the rocket, spring, and the earth. Consider the interval of time between t1, when the rocket is released from the point of maximum spring compression, and t2, the moment when the spring is fully released and the rocket leaves the launcher. List below the types of energy that are changing during this interval and whether the changes are positive or negative. Please explain how you know.
