A compressed spring contains potential energy due to its position in a deformed state. When released, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape.
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.
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.
No the energy stored in a compressed spring is not kinetic energy.
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
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 the handle of the plunger is released, the energy stored in the compressed spring is transferred into kinetic energy as the spring expands rapidly. This kinetic energy is then used to propel the plunger forward, performing work in the process.
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
Bunjee jumping Catapult Hope this helps :) If you want to know what elastic potential energy is, I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/forces/forceselasticityrev1.shtml

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.
There is no such word as kennetic. In any case, the energy is potential.
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.
