Question

A pop-up toy is pushed down and set on the floor. Before it pops, what type of

energy does it mostly have?

Answer 1

The pop-up toy is a toy with four colorful figures which jump up on concealed springs. Before the figure pops, it pushed down and compress the spring. Therefore, at that moment the pop-up toy mostly have the elastic potential energy of the spring (which then converted into kinetic energy when the figure jumps up from the toy).
