What will happen to the potential energy of the spring when it is compressed or stretched?

Answered by admin @



Hello Mate!

■ In both the cases the elastic potential energy came into being, whether a spring is stretched or compressed.

What Potential Energy means?

■ When an object stores some force which can be in future cause work done by virtue of its mass and velocity is called Potential energy.

Example : When you leave a ball at top then uts potential energy is maximum. But while its way to down, its kinetic energy increases.

■ Similarly, when you stretch an object or compress it then it stores energy inform of potential energy and as soon as you decrease the pressure it changes its energy into kinetic energy.

《Hence Potential energy is maximum when a spring is stretched or compressed.》

Have great future ahead!
