A pop-up toy has a mass of 87.2 g and a spring constant of 57 newtons per meter. A force is applied to the toy to compress the spring 0.025 meters. The toy is activated and all the compressed spring's potential energy is converted to gravitational potential energy. Calculate the maximum vertical height to which the toy is propelled. * What is the total mechanical energy contained within this closed system?
