Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true

Why is a car racetrack built with a steep inward slope?

Step2247 [10]

<span>So we want to know why is a car racetrack built with a steep inward slope. When a car is moving on a circular path, it experiences a centrifugal force. This force is bigger as the car speed rises. So to counteract that force the steep inward slope is creating a force component towards the center of the circle that comes from the car's own weight so the car doesn't slide off the road. </span>
