A toy block is attached to a vertical elastic cord suspended from a ceiling. The block is pulled downwards to a point Y Y\,Y and released from rest. It then oscillates vertically between Y Y\,Y and a higher point XXX (without the cord ever becoming slack).
Which types of energy alternately increase and decrease throughout these oscillations?
gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and elastic potential energy
gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy only
gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy only
kinetic energy and elastic potential energy only
