What kinds of energy does a spring have?
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
Give one example of an object before and after it has gained elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
What are two ways a spring can store elastic potential energy?
A spring can store elastic potential energy by someone/something squeezing or pulling the spring
What form of energy does a compressed spring have?
This is known as elastic energy. It is a type of potential energy.

What is energy in spring?

How potential energy arises from an elastic spring?
Potential energy occurs in a spring when it is stretched because it now has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy it is said to have elastic potential energy (EPE)
What kind of potential energy is in a stretched spring?
Potential elastic 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 energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy
How can you describe elastic energy?
Elastic energy is really potential energy that is derived from the stretching of an item such as a spring. The energy potential is based on the force used stretch the spring and the distance the spring is stretched.
What energy is used when you stretch a spring?
elastic potential energy :)
