Spring Physics

Spring physics describes how springs store and release energy through their elasticity. When you push or pull a spring, it stretches or compresses, storing potential energy. Once released, the spring returns to its original shape, converting that stored energy back into motion. The relationship between the force applied and the distance the spring stretches or compresses is governed by Hooke’s Law, which states that the force is proportional to displacement. Springs are used in many devices like watches, vehicles, and machinery to absorb shocks, control motion, and store energy efficiently.
