How does a spring-driven clock work?
A spring driven clock is wound and that creates energy for the clock to work.
What energy tranformation occurs in a digital clock?
It depends on what type of Alarm Clock but mostly Electrical and Mechanical Energy
What form of energy does a wind-up clock have?
A wind up clock contains potential energy stored in a spring. That elastic potential energy is used to move the hands of the clock and otherwise power its operation which might include making an alarm ring. The energy in the spring primarily is used to overcome friction (producing heat) in the internal mechanism, but technically a small amount of kinetic energy is contained in the moving hands and a small amount of energy is converted to sound waves if an alarm sound is created. To get energy into the spring, work was done on it. (Work is force times distance.) Force winds the alarm and that force is applied for a distance and in the direction of motion, even if that direction changes and it ends up being circular as in twisting a key to wind a spring. Apart from frictional forces opposing the winding, the work goes into the spring which gains potential energy. (Friction in the winding process produces some heat, so a careful accounting would put work done equals frictional heat energy plus spring potential energy. Work done equals change in the energy of the system.)

How does a wind-up toys without a spring work?
If there was no spring it would need some other kind of energy storage device. For example, a pendulum clock uses the potential energy of the pendulum in order to store the clocks energy. This is probably not the case in a toy, but it still needs an energy storage system.

Would a bad clock spring make your horn not work?
If the steering wheel clock spring is broken both your horn and air bag will not work and can possibly malfunction.

What is the relation between kinetic energy and work?
Kinetic energy is one type of energy; work is the transfer of certain types of energy.
How potential energy arises an elastic spring?
Let's say you compress the spring. Work (mechanical energy) is required to compress the spring; this energy is stored in the spring and can be recovered (converted to another type of energy) when the spring returns to its normal position.
Is there any relation between charge and work function?
Yes,there is relation between them because a body cannot work without energy
Why wont your cruise control work on your 2003 ford crown Victoria?
clock spring
How does a tide clock work?
it works by a spring the spring is pulled by the moons pull and graphs it by telling you if its high tide or low tide.
If the horn doesn't work and it is not the fuse then what could it be I have a 2001 Ford F-150?
Could be what they call the clock spring if you have an air bag i don't suggest you do it ! The air back system and the clock spring are fragile.
