Q: When a compressed spring is released, it converts its potential energy into-
  • A. Mechanical energy
  • B. Wind power
  • C. Elastic potential energy
  • D. Kinetic energy
Correct Answer: Option D - When the compressed spring is released the stored potential energy is converted kinetic energy and a transfer of momentum takes place between the spring and the object.
