What kind of energy is in compressed springs and stretched rubber bands?
Potential Energy. If the springs or rubber bands are released, the potential energy will become kinetic energy.
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 kind of energy is stored in oil?
Petroleum is concentrated sunlight, which was captured by plants, then compressed and heated for millions of years.
What kind of energy transformation occurs during respiration?
chemical energu is released
When the nucleus of an atom splits what kind of energy is released?
First high speed neutrons, thermal energy and gamma rays are released then the byproducts emit a bit more energy in the form of beta decay.

What kind of energy can be released?
Any kind of energy can be released depending on the circumstances.
What kind of energy is released when fuel is burned?
Chemical Energy is what is released.
What kind of energy is released by the flame?
radiant energy
What kind of energy is stored in oil?
Petroleum is concentrated sunlight, which was captured by plants, then compressed and heated for millions of years.
What kind of energy is released by the breakdown of food?
chemical energy
What kind of energy released when atoms are rearranged?
kinwtic energy
The energy stored in compounds and released in reactions is what kind of energy?
chemical energy
Why is potential energy called stored energy and into what kind of energy does it usually change to?
potential energy is found in things like a compressed spring, or a weight that has been raised to drive a clock. In it's static position, before the energy is released, it is being "stored". It usually changes into "kinetic" energy, causing something to move, or giving it momentum. Some of that energy will also be consumed by friction in the mechanism creating thermal energy.
What kind of change is it if energy is released?
i think if energy is released it is either a chemical or physical change i hope this is right!:)
What kind of energy is released by a computer?
mostly heat
