Elastic Potential Energy
It is both, when the toy is fully turned and awaiting for you to let go, it is at 100% potential energy. when you let go and it unwinds, the toys potential energy is transferred into kinetic, and depending on the toy, thermo and other forms of energy. Once the toy has fully exhausted its potential energy and fully unwounded itself, it is simply an object with no potential or kinetic energy. Always remember, energy cannot be destroyed, only transferred, and there is no such thing as a perpectual motion machine.
No. First of all, a toy is not energy, it hasenergy - that's a big difference. Second, the energy it has is stored in a wound-up or compressed spring, as elasticenergy, which is a type of potential energy.
Potential energy (which is stored) then Kinetic energy (the movement).
I think a wound-up toy is kinetic energy, or so what my teacher says.
A toy car rolling down a ramp has kinetic energy.
It has elastic potential energy.
Kinetic energy and potential energy is stored in the wound-up spring or gear of the toy mechanism.It is called conservation of energy.
Kinetic energy
The energy transformation in a wind up toy is potential energy --> Kinetic energy
Potential energy to kinetic energy
Potential energy stored in a spring => kinetic energy of a toy

when you wind up a clockwork toy, the spring inside of it twists and that called strain energy, then when you let go of the toy the spring unwinds and toy toy moves which is kinetic energy and it may also make a sound as well.
yes
It becomes kinetic energy of the toy (plus some heat).
The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic
Elastic Potential energy
I thought a toy glider did not have any propulsion. Toy airplanes can have an elastic drive, and when this is wound up prior to a flight the drive has potential energy
Energy can be converted from one form to another in a windup toy because when the spring unwinds, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
