Questions asking for the kinetic energy of a distributed-mass body (spring, rod) being pulled or rotated, requiring integration over the mass distribution.
A spring of unstretched length $l$ has a mass $m$ with one end fixed to a rigid support. Assuming spring to be made of a uniform wire, the kinetic energy possessed by it if its free end is pulled with uniform velocity $v$ is: (1) $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ (2) $mv^{2}$ (3) $\frac{1}{3}mv^{2}$ (4) $\frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$
