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
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy?
Yes, when a spring is compressed, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. This energy is released when the spring is allowed to expand back to its original shape.
What form of energy does a compressed spring have?
A compressed spring has potential energy stored in the form of elastic potential energy. This potential energy is ready to be released as kinetic energy when the spring is allowed to expand and return to its natural state.
A compressed spring has elastic potential energy true or false?
True. When a spring is compressed, it stores potential energy due to its elastic properties. When released, this energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape.
What kinds of energy does a spring have?
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
What energy is in compressed spring?
Elastic potential energy

What type of energy does a compressed spring have?
A compressed spring has potential energy stored in the form of elastic potential energy. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape.
When a spring is compressed it is transferring elastic energy to the surroundings?
Yes, when a spring is compressed it stores potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. When released, this stored energy is transferred to the surroundings as kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape.
What two factors does elastic potential energy depend upon?
Elastic potential energy depends on the spring constant (stiffness of the spring) and the displacement from equilibrium (how far the spring is stretched or compressed).
What has more Elastic Potential Energy a spring apart or together?
A spring has more elastic potential energy when it is compressed (together) rather than when it is stretched (apart). This is because the potential energy of a compressed spring is stored in the spring as potential energy due to compression, whereas in a stretched spring, the potential energy is due to the stretching force applied to it.
Give one example of an object before and after it has gained elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
What is an example for energy transferring to elastic energy?
An example of energy transferring to elastic energy is when a spring is compressed. When a force is applied to compress the spring, potential energy is stored in the spring as elastic potential energy. This energy can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
