· ATP is like a compressed spring because each phosphate group is negatively charged and they all repel each other, so as soon as the bonds between them break, they disconnect.

In which of the following is energy available for work stored?

Energy available for work is stored in chemical bonds in molecules like glucose, ATP molecules, and in physical systems like a compressed spring or a charged battery.


By how much is the spring compressed?

The spring is compressed by 5 centimeters.


What is it called when a spring is fully compressed?

When a spring is fully compressed, it is in a state of maximum compression or fully condensed.


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 sort of energy is in the compressed spring?

Spring potential energy.


What is the work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched?

The work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched is the energy stored in the spring due to the deformation. This energy is potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.


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 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.


Does a spring has chemical potential energy when it is compressed?

no it is not,


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.


When a spring is compressed what happens?

When a spring is compressed, potential energy is stored in the spring due to the deformation of its shape. This potential energy is then transformed into kinetic energy when the spring is released and returns to its original shape, causing the spring to push or move objects attached to it.


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.
