A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d , where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=d . What can be said about the energy required to stretch or compress the spring? View Available Hint(s)for Part B More energy is required to stretch the spring than to compress it. The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring. Less energy is required to stretch the spring than to compress it
