Coils are compressed when force is applied to reduce their length or volume, typically resulting in a tighter arrangement of the coil's turns. This compression increases the potential energy stored in the coil and can affect its mechanical properties, such as stiffness and resistance to deformation. Compressed coils are commonly used in various applications, including springs and shock absorbers, where they provide support and absorb energy. Proper compression is essential for optimizing performance and ensuring durability in these applications.

What is it called when the coils of a spring are spread out?

The spring has been stretched. When the coils are squeezed together then the spring has been compressed.


What does coil bound mean?

When the coil spring is completely compressed and the coils are touching


Does spring with more coils have more elastic spring force?

Yes, a spring with more coils generally has a higher elastic spring force because the additional coils increase the amount of material available to store and release energy when the spring is compressed or stretched. This results in a stiffer spring that resists deformation to a greater extent.

How the coil springs look like as you move it back and forth.?

Coil springs have a cylindrical shape and look like a metal coil. When moved back and forth they can be seen to compress and decompress and they make a distinct metallic sound. When compressed the spring will flatten out slightly and when released it will return to its coiled shape. The spring\'s coils may also move ever so slightly back and forth as the spring is compressed and decompressed. The number of coils and the diameter of the spring will affect the overall look. The more coils a spring has the more "bulkier" it will look; a spring with fewer coils will be more compact. The diameter of the spring will also affect its look as a thicker spring will have more compact coils and a thinner spring will look more stretched out. In addition to the overall shape the individual coils of the spring can be seen when it is moved back and forth. The coils are usually spaced evenly apart and wrapped tightly together. The surface of the individual coils is usually smooth although there may be some ridges along the edges. These ridges are usually the result of the manufacturing process and help to keep the individual coils in place.


How would you describe the motion of an individual coil of the slinky?

As a slinky is compressed and released, each individual coil undergoes both stretching and compression motions. When you compress the slinky, the coils squish together and when you release it, the coils expand outward. This back-and-forth motion continues until the slinky comes to rest.


How do refridgerators work?

Refrigerators and air conditioners are heat pumps. They move heat from one place to a different place. They use a working fluid with a low boiling point to do this, e.g. hydrofluorocarbons like HF3C. This working fluid is compressed by a compressor until it liquifies. However it also becomes hot, so the compressed liquid is passed through radiator coils to dispose of the unwanted heat (typically on the back of a refrigerator or the outside part of an air conditioner). The liquid working fluid, now at about room temperature, passes through a small hole as it enters the cooling coils which are at low pressure. The working fluid evaporates inside the cooling coils, reducing their temperature. The gaseous working fluid is then compressed back to liquid by the compressor and the cycle continues.


Can you use a window air conditioner if you just set it on a table?

the hot exhaust will just come out the other side No, that won't do any good at all. An air conditioner is technically a "heat pump", meaning that heat energy is transported FROM the coils inside the house TO the coils outside the house. There is a percentage of efficiency loss that turns to heat, meaning that the overall temperature in a room will raise if it just runs sitting ont the kitchen table. When the heat is pumped through the coils of the air conditioner one side gets hot and the other gets cold. Inside air is blown across the cold coils, cooling off the house. In the process the cold coils warm up. Then the freon in the coils is compressed, also condensing the volume of the heat and making the temperature go up. The heated, compressed freon then passes through the coils OUTSIDE the house where outside air is blown across the coils which cools the outside coils. Then the freon is allowed to expand and drop in pressure which evaporates the freon into a gas again and the temperature drops by 40 degrees or more. Without having a place for the heat to be exhausted, the air conditioner just won't work. Heat MUST go outside.


How do slinky's stretch open and close force and motation?

A slinky stretches and compresses due to the balance between the force applied to it and the elasticity of the material it is made of. When the slinky is stretched or compressed, this creates potential energy stored in the coils. The motion of a slinky is governed by the transfer of energy from the tension in the coils as it oscillates back and forth in a wave-like motion.

Which parameters depend on how resistant a spring is to being compressed or stretched?

The parameters that depend on how resistant a spring is to being compressed or stretched are its stiffness or spring constant, material composition, and geometry (such as coil diameter and number of coils). These factors determine the amount of force required to compress or stretch the spring, as well as how much it will deform under a given load.


Can inter cooler works without outside air assistance?

No, the intercoolers need airflow to pass over the coils carrying away heat from the compressed turbo air. Intercoolers work the same way a radiator does in your car.
