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
What type of energy does a compressed spring have?
A compressed spring has potential energy stored in the form of elastic potential energy. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape.
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called kinetic energy?
No, the energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves and accelerates.
What sort of energy is in the compressed spring?
Spring potential energy.
Is Energy of a compressed spring kennetic or potential?
There is no such word as kennetic. In any case, the energy is potential.
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy?
Yes, when a spring is compressed, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. This energy is released when the spring is allowed to expand back to its original shape.
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called strain energy?
Yes, the energy stored in a compressed spring is commonly referred to as potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. The spring store this energy by virtue of its deformation or change in shape due to compression.
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy.true or false?
True. A compressed spring has elastic potential energy due to the work done to compress it. This potential energy is stored in the spring and can be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released.
What energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy
What is an example of kinetic energy being converted to a potential energy a.a basketball player jumping for a rebound b.releasing a compressed spring c.squeezing a rubberball?
Releasing a compressed spring is an example of kinetic energy being converted to potential energy. When the spring is released, the potential energy stored in the compressed spring is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring expands and moves.
What kinds of energy does a spring have?
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
What are other forms of potential energy?
A stretched rubber band, a compressed spring, an elevated object, chemical bonds.
