Assertion: A spring stores potential energy when compressed or stretched. Reason: This energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the spring returns to its equilibrium position.
The potential energy of a spring is the energy stored in it when it's stretched or compressed. It describes the work done to stretch the spring and depends on the spring constant k and the distance stretched. The potential energy of a spring is dependent on the stretch or squeeze of the spring, but not on the path taken.
