What happens to the potential energy of a spring when it is compressed?
A
It becomes equal to the kinetic energy of the moving object at maximum compression.
B
It increases indefinitely as compression continues.
C
It remains constant regardless of compression.
D
It is always greater than the kinetic energy of the object.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, at maximum compression, the potential energy of the spring is equal to the kinetic energy of the moving car, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
