· ATP is like a compressed spring because each phosphate group is negatively charged and they all repel each other, so as soon as the bonds between them break, they disconnect.

ATP is like a compressed spring because it stores energy in its phosphate bonds that can be released quickly when needed for cellular processes, similar to how a compressed spring stores potential energy that can be released rapidly. This energy release is used to drive many cellular reactions and processes in the body.

In which of the following is energy available for work stored?
Energy available for work is stored in chemical bonds in molecules like glucose, ATP molecules, and in physical systems like a compressed spring or a charged battery.
What is it called when a spring is fully compressed?
When a spring is fully compressed, it is in a state of maximum compression or fully condensed.
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 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 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 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.
What sort of energy is in the compressed spring?
Spring potential energy.
Does a spring has chemical potential energy when it is compressed?
no it is not,
What is it called when a spring is fully compressed?
When a spring is fully compressed, it is in a state of maximum compression or fully condensed.
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.
How do you remove the top nut on the rear shock of a 1997 Lincoln town car?
The rear shock spring will need to be compressed with a spring compressor. When the spring is compressed the top nut can easily be removed.
What energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy
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.
What is it called when the coils of a spring are spread out?
The spring has been stretched. When the coils are squeezed together then the spring has been compressed.
Is a pushed down spring kinetic energy?
Yes, a pushed down spring has potential energy due to its compressed state. When released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves and accelerates.
How does a spring air rifle work?
When the rifle is cocked, a spring is compressed. Pulling the trigger releases the spring, which pushes a piston forward, The piston compresses air as it moves. The compressed air blows the BB or pellet out of the barrel.
