sir when a spring is elongateddoes the block attached to spring have PE

If the block is gently released from the stretched position (x = xf), the stored potential energy in the spring will start to be converted to the kinetic energy of the block, and vice versa. Neglecting frictional forces, Mechanical energy conservation demands that, at any point during its motion.

Thanks & Regards
