Two Identical objects are pressed against two Different springs so that each spring stores 50J of potential energy initially. The objects are then released from rest. One spring is quite stiff (hard to compress) while the other one is quite soft (easy to compress). Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct? Group of answer choices The stiff spring has a larger spring constant. The maximum kinetic energy of the object pressed against the stiff spring will be larger than the other object. The soft spring must have been compressed more than the stiff spring initially. Both springs are initially compressed by the same amount. Both objects will have the same maximum speed after being released
