What is the difference between elastic force and gravitational force?

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

An object moves from position +34m to the position -15m in 15 seconds. what is the total displacement? what is the total velocity?

Amass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. initially, the mass is released from rest from a point 8 inches below the equilibrium position. find the equation of motion. (use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)
