The reaction of a spring is to exert a force opposite to the direction it is compressed or stretched. This is known as Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position. In other words, when you compress or stretch a spring, it pushes or pulls back with a force that tries to return it to its original position.

What is spring away from a surface?

Spring away from a surface is the reaction force exerted by a compressed spring when released, causing it to push or bounce away from the surface it was in contact with. This reaction force is a result of the stored potential energy in the spring being converted into kinetic energy.


What is increased when a spring is compressed?

Elastic force. It is a reaction which comes into the scene due to elastic nature of the material of the spring.

What two forces compress a spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?

The two forces that compress a spring inside a weighing scale are the force of gravity acting on the person standing on the scale and the reaction force exerted by the spring in the scale to counteract the force of gravity. This compression of the spring is used to measure the weight of the person.


What is the force called that springs use to push back?

The force that springs use to push back is called "spring force" or "restoring force." This force occurs when a spring is compressed or stretched, and it acts in the opposite direction to the displacement of the spring.


What two forces compress the spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?

The two forces are your weight pushing down on the scale, creating a force that compresses the spring inside, and the spring's reaction force pushing back up against your weight to reach equilibrium and provide a measurement of your weight.


A boy fires a spring-loaded Ping-Pong ball gun Briefly compare the forces and impulses on the gun and the ball Which has more momentum which moves faster?

The spring hits the ball with an action, and the ball hits the spring with an equal but opposite reaction. Since the ball has more momentum, it moves faster.

If a spring is wound up then set in resin slice off a section exposing the metal then immerse the spring in acid so that the spring is dissolved where does the energy go v?

If the spring is dissolved in acid and the spring is under tension the potential energy is still released as kinetic energy. The law of energy is that it can neither created nor destroyed is a constant. As the spring dissolves the energy is released. Just be cause the spring does not bounce in to it's natural shape does not mean that the energy was not released.


What are the physics of springs?

Springs imply Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's third law of motion states that if a force acts upon an object, the object reacts with an equal and opposite force. Plus, the design of the spring is a spiral, and this type of design leads to an exact opposite reaction to the force being acted upon it. In other words, when you push on a spring, Newton's Third Law comes into effect and its opposite reaction is stable and focused into fighting the original force acting upon it. This makes the spring bounce, and that is the physics of springs.
