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.
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.
When a spring is compressed it is transferring elastic energy to the surroundings?
Yes, when a spring is compressed it stores potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. When released, this stored energy is transferred to the surroundings as kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape.
Why does a compressed spring weigh more than an uncompressed spring?
When a spring is compressed, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. This added energy increases the overall mass of the spring, making it weigh more than when it is uncompressed.
What form of energy does a compressed spring have?
A compressed spring has potential energy stored in the form of elastic potential energy. This potential energy is ready to be released as kinetic energy when the spring is allowed to expand and return to its natural state.
What kind of energy does compressed springs released?
Compressed springs release potential energy stored in the deformation of the spring when compressed. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape and releases the stored energy in the form of mechanical work.
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 form of energy is stored on a stretched spring?
Elastic potential energy is stored in a stretched spring. When the spring is compressed or stretched, it gains potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
What sort of energy is in the compressed spring?
Spring potential energy.
Which type of energy increase when you compress a spring?
Potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy increases when you compress a spring. As the spring is compressed, it stores potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original position.
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.
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.
