How potential energy arises an elastic spring?
Let's say you compress the spring. Work (mechanical energy) is required to compress the spring; this energy is stored in the spring and can be recovered (converted to another type of energy) when the spring returns to its normal position.
Describe how energy can be converted from one form to another on a wind up toy?
Energy can be converted from one form to another in a windup toy because when the spring unwinds, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What energy transformation takes place in a mechanical clock?
In mechanical clock, when spring is revolved, it becomes a potential energy. when spring is released, it will converted in to kinetic energy, so that the hand of the clock is rotated.
When a wind-up toy is released the energy in the compressed spring is converted into what?
It becomes kinetic energy of the toy (plus some heat).
What are the energy transfer is in a toy car?
It depends on the type of toy car. In a simple wind-up version, mechanical energy, of a spring under tension, is converted to kinetic energy and noise and a small amount of heat. In battery powered cars, chemical energy from the batteries is converted to electricity which in turn is converted to kinetic energy and waste.
If you compress a spring with your fingers your energy converts to PE of spring what if you do the same activity without any spring in between your fingers?
The energy is converted to the internal energy of our fingers and surroundings.

Two examples of potential energy converted to kinetic energy?
A stone when it's dropped; and a compressed spring when it's released.
When a wind-up toy is released the energy in the compressed spring is converted into what?
It becomes kinetic energy of the toy (plus some heat).

What kind of energy is coverted when you burn gasoline?
Chemical energy is converted into heat energy.Chemical energy is converted into heat energy.Chemical energy is converted into heat energy.Chemical energy is converted into heat energy.
Describe the energy change of a wind up toy car as it runs down a slope?
The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic
Which energy is converted when you are cycling?
In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
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?
I got this in my exam, and the answer is B) releasing a compressed spring as it a transformation from potential to kinetic
Why does a non energy saving light bulb give off more heat than an energy saving light bulb?
Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.
