The mass spring pulley system uses the combination of a mass, a spring, and a pulley to control the movement of objects. The mass provides weight, the spring stores and releases energy, and the pulley changes the direction of the force. When an object is attached to the system, the spring and mass work together to regulate its motion by applying a force that counteracts any external forces acting on the object. This helps to stabilize and control the movement of the object.

No, a trampoline is not a pulley. A trampoline is a piece of equipment used for jumping and rebounding, while a pulley is a simple machine used to lift or move objects by changing the direction of force. They serve different purposes and functions.
A spring-driven clock uses a tightly wound spring to store potential energy. As the spring unwinds, the energy is transferred to gears, which regulate the movement of the clock hands. The escapement mechanism, controlled by the gear train, ensures that the clock hands move in precise increments.
Objects that can be weighed on a spring balance include fruits, vegetables, books, bags, and small household items. The spring balance is typically used for measuring the weight of objects that are not too heavy or bulky.
Spring energy can be converted into kinetic energy (motion) when the spring is released and expands or contracts.
When a spring is hung from the ceiling, it can move up and down freely. The hanging allows the spring to stretch and compress easily, affecting its behavior and movement by enabling it to oscillate back and forth.
