Compressed springs are what kind of energy?
The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation: U=.5kx2 U= potential energy (in joules) k= the spring constant x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed) This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called strain energy?
The energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy.
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called kinetic energy?
No, it is called potential energy. When the compressed spring is allowed to expand, then it becomes kinetic energy.
What energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy
Is a pushed down spring kinetic energy?
No the energy stored in a compressed spring is not kinetic energy.
Does a spring has chemical potential energy when it is compressed?
no it is not,
What kinds of energy does a spring have?
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
What form of energy is in a compressed spring?
That would be categorized as mechanical energy.
Which has potential energy stored in the form of elastic energy?
a compressed spring
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy?
Yes.
What type of energy is a stationary wind up toy with a compressed spring?
Potential energy.
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy true or false?
True
