What else can I help you with?
What piece of apparatus would you use to change elastic potential energy into kinetic energy?
A spring would be the apparatus used to change elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. When a compressed or stretched spring is released, it converts the stored potential energy into kinetic energy as it returns to its equilibrium position.
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
What are the two types of sound energy?
The energy in a sound wave is both kinetic and potential. Just as in a vibrating spring, the medium has mass and moves and so moving mass is kinetic energy. Just as in the spring there is compression and rarefaction, so there is elastic potential energy. In fact, these two are equal, potential energy = kinetic energy, just like a spring. Just like in a vibrating spring, the total energy is constant and equal to the average kinetic energy plus the average potential energy.
What happens to the potential energy in a jack-in-the-box when you release the lid?
When you release the lid of a jack-in-the-box, the stored potential energy in the spring is converted into kinetic energy as the spring unwinds and the box pops open. This kinetic energy is what causes the toy to pop up and the jack to spring out.
If the kinetic energy of the coaster goes up What happen to the potential energy?
uh, down? (yes, down) The potential energy, as in a compressed spring, goes to zero as the spring is released. The potential energy (sort of) becomes the kinetic energy. (Now, I'm sure that that statement could get an argument in the physics study room in the science building, but it'll get you by...)
What piece of apparatus would you use to change elastic potential energy into kinetic energy?
A spring would be the apparatus used to change elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. When a compressed or stretched spring is released, it converts the stored potential energy into kinetic energy as it returns to its equilibrium position.
Is a tightly wound spring potential or kinetic energy?
A tightly wound spring stores potential energy. When the spring is released and unwinds, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves and does work.
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called kinetic energy?
No, the energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves and accelerates.
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
Is a pushed down spring kinetic energy?
No the energy stored in a compressed spring is not kinetic energy.
What energy does a streched spring contain?
A stretched spring contains potential energy, which is stored in the spring due to its deformation or change in shape. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released or allowed to return to its natural position.
What kinds of energy does a spring have?
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
How can stored energy change into active moving energy?
Stored energy can change into active moving energy through a process called conversion. For example, potential energy stored in a compressed spring can change into kinetic energy when released, causing the spring to move. This transformation occurs when the stored energy is released and able to do work by causing movement in an object or system.
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?
Releasing a compressed spring is an example of kinetic energy being converted to potential energy. When the spring is released, the potential energy stored in the compressed spring is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring expands and moves.
What is the energy transfer for a spring?
When a spring is compressed or stretched, energy is stored in the form of potential energy. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released, causing the spring to oscillate back and forth. Overall, energy is transferred between potential and kinetic forms in a spring system.
What energy has a squashed spring got?
A squashed spring has potential energy stored in it. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring expands.
Is a spring in a pinball machine before it released kinetic or potential energy?
A spring in a pinball machine stores potential energy when compressed or stretched. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring expands and propels the pinball.
