Question

select the correct answer. which form of energy increases when a spring is compressed? a. chemical potential energy b. elastic potential energy c. kinetic energy d. radiant energy e. thermal energy

Explanation:

Elastic potential energy is stored in an elastic object like a spring when it is deformed (compressed or stretched). Chemical potential energy is related to chemical bonds, kinetic energy is energy of motion, radiant energy is related to electromagnetic waves, and thermal energy is related to temperature.

Answer:

B. elastic potential energy
