Question

State the energy changes taking place in the case of a toy car being wound and then allowed to move on the floor.

Answer 1

Answer:

When a toy car is wound and then allowed to move on the floor, Potential energy changes to Kinetic energy.

Explanation

• When the toy car is wound, the spring stores potential energy
• The potential energy of the spring inside the toy car is stored due to its configuration.
• The potential energy which is stored in the spring is converted into kinetic energy when released.
• So the car moves on the floor at a certain speed.
