Answer:
The correct option is;
Has potential energy
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy of a mechanical toy is given as follows;
Total Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
During the winding up of the coil, the total energy becomes the kinetic energy
The total energy at the point of winding up of the coil = The kinetic energy supplied to the toy by winding the coil
From the first law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
Due to the coil being prevented from unwinding, the kinetic energy becomes transformed (stored as) into Potential energy of the toy
When the toy is operated it then unwinds the coil bringing about motion and converting back the potential energy to kinetic energy by itself as if it was alive.
