Springs

A spring is a mechanical device that stores potential energy when compressed or stretched, and releases that energy to exert a force. They’re commonly used to absorb shocks, return parts to their original position, or provide a constant force.

Elasticity

Elasticity is the ability of an object or material to return to its original shape after being stretched, compressed, or deformed. It’s a measure of how much a material or object resists deformation under stress and then recovers its original shape once the stress is removed.
