Jim releases a compressed spring. describe the energy transformation taking place in the spring. potential energy to kinetic energy, and total energy is conserved kinetic energy to potential energy, and some energy is lost as heat kinetic energy to potential energy, and potential energy is equal to kinetic energy potential energy to kinetic energy, and potential energy is always greater than kinetic energy

Potential energy to kinetic energy, and total energy is conserved

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its height, position or arrangement whereas kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. A sum total of potential energy and kinetic energy of an object is equal to its mechanical energy.

When we compress a spring, energy of our hand is stored in the spring as the potential energy of the spring which is being used to hold it in that particular position. At that time, it has total potential energy. As soon as we release the spring, it tends to stretch outside and jump outwards. It means it acquires kinetic energy. So, we can say that the potential energy is being transformed into kinetic energy.

Also, the spring will gain the same amount of kinetic energy which is being lost as potential energy keeping the total mechanical energy as constant. It means that the total energy of the spring is conserved.

image result for what happens whenever a net force acts on an object

if an object has a net force acting on it, it will accelerate. the object will speed up, slow down or change direction. an unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. an unbalanced force is an unopposed force that causes a change in motion.

the correct answer is option b

behavioral response need communication and thus co-ordination at several levels such as interaction among cells, organ system and the entire organism.

behavioral response produces both internal and environmental stimulus.
