It can be described in several ways, but elastic potential energy is the most useful.

What kind of energy does a clock use?
mechanical energy
How does a wind-up toys without a spring work?
If there was no spring it would need some other kind of energy storage device. For example, a pendulum clock uses the potential energy of the pendulum in order to store the clocks energy. This is probably not the case in a toy, but it still needs an energy storage system.
Is it gravitational energy in the spring of a jack in the box?
No. A spring has ANOTHER kind of potential energy.
What kind of energy does a slinky have?
energy that is stored in the spring when it is compressed.energy is stored in the spring when it is stretched.
What kind of energy is stored when you stretch a spring?
elastic energy..
What kind of spring is used on a retractable dog leash?
clock spring
What kind of energy does a clock use?
mechanical energy
Why is an German anniversary clock called a time bomb?
This refers to one particular kind of clock, the 400 day clock made by S. Haller and most typically marketed as an Elgin. Its flawed main spring design can cause the clock to explode when fully wound, and/or when someone is trying to repair it. Search 'German time bomb clock' for more data,

What kind of potential energy is in a stretched spring?
Potential elastic energy
What kind of simple machine is a wind up key toy?
A clock is two simple machines: Gears are placed in the back of the clockThe Wheel and Axle is located in the hands of the clock.
What is the energy stored in an object that is not moving?
Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object, and can be changed into kinetic, or other forms of energy. There are many types, such as Elastic Potential Energy and Gravitational Potential Energy.
What Hands moving on a battery-operated clock is an example of what kind of energy?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
Why is potential energy called stored energy and into what kind of energy does it usually change to?
potential energy is found in things like a compressed spring, or a weight that has been raised to drive a clock. In it's static position, before the energy is released, it is being "stored". It usually changes into "kinetic" energy, causing something to move, or giving it momentum. Some of that energy will also be consumed by friction in the mechanism creating thermal energy.
