At the beginning, the person has kinetic energy (chemical allows them to live, mechanical to move), and the toy has gravitational potential energy (assuming it is on an above-ground surface). As the person turns the handle, they apply mechanical energy onto the toy, which then gets mechanical energy too. As it moves across the surface, the toy experiences-although relatively little-thermal energy (friction force working against it). Finally, the handle unwinds through elastic potential energy.

What energy transformation is involved in the wind up toy?
The energy transformation in a wind up toy is potential energy --> Kinetic energy
What is the energy transfer to a wind up toy?
Kinetic energy
What type of energy does a wind up toy use?
Potential energy stored in a spring => kinetic energy of a toy
What type of energy is a stationary wind up toy with a compressed spring?
Potential energy.
When a wind-up toy is released the energy in the compressed spring is converted into what?
It becomes kinetic energy of the toy (plus some heat).

Is a wind up toy that is wound-up an example of elastic potential energy?
yes
The spring inside a moving wind up toy has?
potential energy ONLY
What energy changes take place with a clockwork 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.
Describe how energy can be converted from one form to another on a wind up toy?
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.
What kind of energy changes when we wind up a toy?
Sweat beads evaporate causing a cooling effect. I hope your toy is good at absorbing mayonaise.
Where is the energy stored in a wind-up toy?
Whatever winds the tool up - usually energy stored in your muscles.
The toy car won't move unless you --- it up?
wind it up
