It can be defined as the work required to stretch or compress the string - the product of force times distance, as an integral, because the force is not constant.
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 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.
There is no such word as kennetic. In any case, the energy is potential.
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.
The energy stored in the spring of a clock is potential energy. As the spring is wound up, it is compressed or stretched, storing potential energy. This potential energy is then slowly released as the spring unwinds, powering the clock mechanism.

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.
The spring is wound tighter, this stores the potential energy. The spring unwinding turns the potential energy into kinetic energy.
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
When you stretch a spring, the energy is stored as potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. This potential energy is stored in the spring due to the deformation of its shape, and it is released when the spring returns to its original position.
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.
When you stretch a spring, the energy stored is potential energy from the work done to stretch the spring. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released and returns to its original position.
A spring contains potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. As the spring is compressed or stretched, potential energy is stored within it. This energy is released when the spring returns to its rest position.
