The atoms in the metal behave like tiny springs which are being pulled apart a little bit and also laterally displaced. The greater this separation, the greater the restoring force pulling the atoms back together.

Which forces are acting when you stretch a spring?
The force you are exerting to stretch it, and the restoring force of the spring.
What forces are acting on the Mass a mass is hanging from a spring?
A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.
When a mass suspended from a spring is in its equilibrium position the upward force exerted by the spring is equal to the downward force exerted by gravity acting on the mass?
Yes true
A mass is hanging from a spring what forces are acting on the mass?
I do believe that it is either kinetic or potential energy. From jellyfish
Does a spring stretch when a weight is added to it?
The stretch or compression of a spring is defined by Hooke's Law,where F is the Force acting on the spring,k is the constant spring factor, based on the material and construction of the spring.x is the displacement of the spring.The formula holds true until, or unless the force permanently deforms the spring material.

What is a SpringForce Scale?
A spring force scale measures the downward pull on a spring exerted by a force, usually gravity acting on a weight.
What forces are acting on the Mass a mass is hanging from a spring?
A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.
How can a compressed spring act like an extended spring?
Both have a force acting to bring the spring back to its original length. So the 1/2kx2 is just in the reverse direction (not because the x is negative because the acting force is towards x0, the original length).

What is an acting of force on an object is called its what?
its called they are forming up to be a bigger force

What is the difference between elastic force and elastic potential energy?
Elastic force is a force which you are acting on it while elastic potential energy is produced when the spring is being compressed or stretched
What is force acting on a body with uniform motion?
A body in uniform motion has no net force acting on it. That means that either there are no forces at all, or else that all the forces acting on it add up to zero.
What is the force acting on flywheel?
The force acting on flywheel is called centrifugal force.
Explain why the spring stretches while the system is rotating when performing a lab experiment on uniform circular motion?
As the system rotates, the mass is moved in a circle which means that there is a net force acting on it and is directed towards the center. That force is provided by the spring which has to be streched in order to provide the force needed.
