The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation:
U=.5kx2
U= potential energy (in joules)
k= the spring constant
x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed)
This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
Elastic potential energy is stored in compressed springs.
The spring would be kinetic energy because as the spring is being compressed it is gaining potential energy. So when the spring is all the way compressed there is nothing left to do but use the stored potential energy as kinetic. -Whitney
The energy in the spring when it is compressed is potential energy.
The energy in a compressed spring is elastic energy; this is a type of potential energy.

Yes potential energy is in a compressed spring.
Elastic Potential Energy. The formula is 1/2kx^2. k is the spring constant, newtons per length. X is distance.

There are three primary types of wire springs: compression springs absorb energy as they are compressed, extension springs as they are extended, and torsion springs as they are twisted.
Springs are great for absorbing energy. The spring force is negative when the spring is stretched and positive when it is compressed or pushed.

By winding them, old clocks(and some new ones) are powered by a system of springs. By winding the clock or watch you compressed the springs, which allowed them to store energy to power the clock or watch
