A spring which is kept comprassed by tying its ends together is allowed to be dissolved in an acid. What happens to the potnetial energy of the spring ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The potential energy of the spring gets converted into heat energy (kinetic energy of acid molecules). Due to this heat, the temperature of the acid rises.
