Which answer best represents the system’s change in energy for the following process? The system includes Earth, two carts, and a compressed spring between the carts. The spring is released, and in the final state, one cart is moving up a frictionless ramp until it stops. The other cart is moving in the opposite direction on a horizontal frictionless track.

(a) Kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy

(b) Elastic potential energy to gravitational potential energy

(c) Elastic potential energy to kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy
