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


What energy is in compressed spring?

Elastic potential energy


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.


A compressed spring has elastic potential energy.true or false?

True. A compressed spring has elastic potential energy due to the work done to compress it. This potential energy is stored in the spring and can be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released.


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.


What kinds of energy does a spring have?

a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.


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 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.


What kind of energy is stored when you stretch a spring?

Elastic potential energy is stored when you stretch a spring. This energy is a type of potential energy that is stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched.


What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?

Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.


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.
