Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The potential energy stored in a compressed spring is called elastic potential energy. This energy is released when the spring is allowed to uncoil. Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses if it is held above any surface, energy that the object's weight gains as it falls. Chemical potential energy resides in the chemical bonds of the atoms that make up the object. Inelastic potential energy would not apply once the spring is compressed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is being performed. Energy and work are measured in joules. One joule is the force of 1 N acting on a 1-kg object to move it 1 m. Ohms is the re-sistance an electrical circuit possesses.
