What is an example of kinetic energy being converted to a potential energy a.a basketball player jumping for a rebound b.releasing a compressed spring c.squeezing a rubberball?
I got this in my exam, and the answer is B) releasing a compressed spring as it a transformation from potential to kinetic
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
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called strain energy?
The energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy.
In the area of physics what is potential energy?
Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored within an object and it can be released or converted into another form of energy. Potential energy is most often associated with restoring forces such as in a spring, which stores potential energy when compressed or stretched.
Spring energy is converted into what energy?
It is converted into "movement" if something is placed on the spring.
Two examples of potential energy converted to kinetic energy?
A stone when it's dropped; and a compressed spring when it's released.

What sort of energy is in the compressed spring?
Spring potential energy.
Spring energy is converted into what energy?
It is converted into "movement" if something is placed on the spring.
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called kinetic energy?
No, it is called potential energy. When the compressed spring is allowed to expand, then it becomes kinetic energy.
What energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy
Is a pushed down spring kinetic energy?
No the energy stored in a compressed spring is not kinetic energy.
What is the scientific motion that makes the jack in the box work?
Jack lives on the end of a spring. A compressed spring contains potential energy that converts to kinetic energy when released.
Does a spring has chemical potential energy when it is compressed?
no it is not,
