Certainly. That's exactly what happens when you fall into the middle of a trampoline.
As the stretchy fabric absorbs your kinetic energy, you slow down, and you eventually
stop when all of your kinetic energy is stored in the trampoline as elastic energy.
Then the elastic energy transfers back and becomes your kinetic energy, as you go
sailing again.

A pole -vaulter first converts kinetic energy into?
Elastic Potential Energy
How the energy is transferred as a catapult is fired?
The energy stored in the stretched rubber (or elastic) is converted into the kinetic energy of the missile.
What sport involves transforming gravitational potential energy into elastic energy?
This can happen in many sports. One common example is anything that involves a ball - of the type that can bounce when they fall. In such a ball, when it falls down, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy; later, when it touches the ground, the kinetic energy is converted into elastic energy. When the ball bounces back, part of this elastic energy (typically, most of it) is converted back into kinetic energy.
Is a stretched sling shot kinetic energy?
Yes, anything that has a mass, and moves, has kinetic energy.Yes, anything that has a mass, and moves, has kinetic energy.Yes, anything that has a mass, and moves, has kinetic energy.Yes, anything that has a mass, and moves, has kinetic energy.
What two factors affect the amount of elastic potential energy and how do they affect it?
Mainly, what much energy of other types was converted to elastic energy. For example: if a ball falls from a certain height, and assuming a perfect bounce and no air resistance, all the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls down, which in turn is converted to elastic energy when it hits the floor. Then the elastic energy is converted back into kinetic energy, as the ball bounces back up.

When does the catupolt have potenial energy?
When the elastic is drawn back by the action of work done by the boy, potential energy is at a maximum, stored in the elastic. When it is released most of the energy is converted into kinetic energy of the stone.

What energy takes place as an arrow is shot from a bow?
The moment the arrow is released, potential energy (elastic energy in the bow) is converted into kinetic energy.
What energy is in elastic objects?
kinetic and elastic potential energy
What are the energy transformations when an archer pulls the string on the bow and when the archer releases the bow?
The energy in the stretched bowstring is potential energy - specifically, elastic energy. This is converted into kinetic energy, when the arrow is released.
How does an elastic power car work?
Elastic cars work by converting elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The most potential energy, the more kinetic energy.
What kind of energy is stored in the rubber band on the rolling toy?
That is potential energy, converted to kinetic energy when the toy rolls.
Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?
can be converted to potential energy.
