 The difference in elastic **potential** energy is the **negative** of the work done by elastic force, and is equal to:
 $$\Delta E_e = \frac{1}{2}k \Delta x^2$$
 
+### Conservation of energy

+The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed. Therefore, the net energy initially must be the same in the end.
