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.
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.
What type of energy increases when you compress a string?
elastic potential 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.
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

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.

elastic potential energy
What type of energy is in a spring?
mechanical potential energy

What energy is stored in a spring?
That's called elastic energy, and it is a type of potential energy.
What type of energy does a spring toy has?
potential
What type of energy dose a spring have?
Elastic potential energy. F=0.5kx^2
What type of energy is stored in spring?
potential energy because it is stored down in compression
What type of energy is a stationary wind up toy with a compressed spring?
Potential energy.
