What type of energy transfers through a jack in the box?

The energy that is used by you to compress the spring to close the box is stored in the spring until some one opens the box and releases the energy in the spring.


How does energy transfer through a jack in the box?

energy transfers through a jack in the box by when you turn the handle you are transferring energy into the spring and the more yu turn the handle the more energy that is being transferred to the spring to make it wotk.


What is the scientific motion that makes the jack in the box work?

Jack lives on the end of a spring. A compressed spring contains potential energy that converts to kinetic energy when released.


What happens to the potential energy in a jack-in-the-box when you release the lid?

It is released (it has been stored in the spring) and appears as kinetic energy


What the amount of energy it takes to lift a box might be a function of?

The amount of energy is given by the formula for gravitational potential energy:GPE = mgh That is, it depends on mass, gravity, and height.


How do you make a jack in the box?

That shouldn't be too hard. A box with a hinged door on the top. Put Jack on a spring and affix it to the bottom inside of the box. Attatch a crank opperated music box. Add an arm that would release a latch on the door when it hits a certain point in the song. The door itself would be opened by Jack's mighty kinetic energy once the door is no longer holding him back. Thats how you do it!!!!!!!!!!


How is Jack in the box different from mcdonalds?

No, a jack-in-the-box refers to a spring loaded bobble head that is released from a box by cranking a handle. Jacks in card games are a similar knavish character, but jacks in the ball game are small three-dimensional crossed sticks.

What kinda of energy is a box of matches?

A box of matches on a high shelf has gravitational potential energy.A box of matches falling from the high shelf has kinetic energy.A box of matches on fire has heat, sound and light energy.A box of matches on its own has chemical potential energy.


Can you name 2 objects which contain strain energy?

A jack in the box is one.


What formula is used to find the amount of energy needed to lift a box?

Most of the energy related to lifting something up is related to gravitational potential energy, so you basically use the formula for gravitational potential energy: GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height)
