Question: The potential energy of a compressed spring and the potential energy of a charged object both depend on
- the work done on them
- Both of these
- Neither of these
- the force applied to them
- the distance they travel
- the temperature of the environment they are in
- motion
- the material they are made of
- the time they are in use
- the speed they move at
