Which type of energy increase when you compress a spring?

kinetic energy


Thermal energy is energy stored by things that stretch or compress?

Thermal energy is not the energy stored by things that stretch or compress. This type of energy applies to strain potential energy. Thermal energy refers to motion energy due to the random vibration of atoms or molecules within an object.


How potential energy arises an elastic spring?

Let's say you compress the spring. Work (mechanical energy) is required to compress the spring; this energy is stored in the spring and can be recovered (converted to another type of energy) when the spring returns to its normal position.

Is it true or false that because energy is conserved as the amount of one type of energy increases the amount of another type of energy must decrease?

That is true.


What will happen If the energy content of an object continually increases?

What type of energy? Thermal, kinetic, gravitational, electrical?


What type of energy transfers through a jack in the box?

The energy that is used by you to compress the spring to close the box is stored in the spring until some one opens the box and releases the energy in the spring.


How Is Potentional Energy Produced?

It is produced by converting some other type of energy into potential energy. For example, it takes an effort to lift an object up (against the force of gravitation) or to compress a spring.
