Worked Solution
Step 1: Identify initial state (At rest at height = GPE).
Step 2: Identify transition (Moving down ramp = Kinetic Energy).
Step 3: Identify final action (Compressing spring = Elastic Potential Energy).
Correct answer: Gravitational potential energy -> Kinetic energy -> Elastic potential energy
