What type of energy does a compressed mattress spring have?

• chemical

• gravitational

• elastic

• kinetic

What type of energy does a lamp hanging from the ceiling have?

• chemical

• gravitational

• elastic

• kinetic

Answer explanation

Anytime something is hanging above the ground, gravity wants to pull it down. If the cord holding it was to snap, the light would fall down due to gravity.
