To my knowledge, at the point when a spring is being extended until the bottom of it is stationary, the electrostatic forces of attraction between the molecules in the spring balance out with the external force exerted on the spring. However, when extending a spring, wouldn't the molecules in the spring simultaneously exert attractions to the end that's being extended? Thus, wouldn't this attraction balance out the applied force and keep the spring unable to be extended at all?
