Re: [Vo]:Compressed spring - what happens to the stored energy at different temperatures?

2012-09-11 Thread Harry Veeder
For my own edification I continued to think about the issue of potential energy gain and loss and I realise it depends on the interatomic forces within the spring. Cooling the compressed spring reduces the vibrations of the atoms in the spring, and allows the interatomic forces to strengthen bonds

I do not think that this thought experiment works with springs. That is because spring energy is stored into compression of electron orbitals into higher energy levels. This means that compressed spring is more massive due to E=mc². However this is very intriguing thought experiment, because on the

I think that the spring will return to its original position as in the first case if the temperature is returned to the same as before. This situation would demonstrate that the missing energy is taken away as heat into the liquid nitrogen so it does not disappear. You could get results of th
