Where is the energy stored in a wind-up toy?
Whatever winds the tool up - usually energy stored in your muscles.
What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
How much a 5-pound weight would stretch the spring?
It depends on spring energy or spring strength
Describe the energy change of a wind up toy car as it runs down a slope?
The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic
Stored energy due to position?
potential energy.
Example of spring energy?
Compressing a spring is potential energy in a system.
What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
Give you 2 examples of each type of energy?
chemical energy example, car battery, food, fuel Stored mechanical energy example, stretching or compressing a spring or rubber band
What is total energy in the case of vibrating mass-spring system?
That would be the sum of kinetic energy (due to movement) and potential (elastic) energy (stored in the spring).
How do you save mechanical energy?
You can move something up, converting mechanical to potential energy (saving it). Or you can store that mechanical energy by compressing a gas, or by storing it in a spring, or by storing in as inertial forces such as running up a gyroscope.
How is energy stored in a windup watch?
Depends what type it is. If operated by a spring, it is elastic energy due to putting energy into the spring by mechanical winding. If operated by a battery it is the chemical energy stored in the battery.
How do Physics and a pogo stick relate?
A pogo sticks spring is compressed due to the persons weight. Potential energy is high while the kinetic energy is low at this point. when that spring then relaxes the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy due to the acceleration of the pogo stick going up in the air.
When an object is lifted where does the potential energy come from?
Elastic potential energy can be found when you are stretching a spring. Any kind of elastic energy can be found when you are stretching or compressing an object.
Which this cycle this action starts the extraction and ejection cycle of operation while compressing the recoil spring?
unlocking
Can you change potential energy of a body without doing any work on it?
No, the energy has to come from somewhere. In a mechanical case, like lifting a weight or compressing a spring, the work done is Force x Distance, and this goes to increasing the object's potential energy. In an electrical case, such as charging a capacitor, the energy put in is the watts of the supply times the time it applies.
Definition of elastic strength in physics?
In physics, elasticity is a physical property of materials which return to their original shape after they are deformed.
What sort of energy is in the compressed spring?
Spring potential energy.
