Elastic energy is the potential energy stored in elastic materials when they are stretched or compressed. Here are a few examples:Stretching a Rubber Band: When you stretch a rubber band, it stores elastic energy. This energy is released when you let go, causing the rubber band to snap back to its original shape.Bouncing a Basketball: When you drop a basketball on the ground, it compresses slightly and stores elastic energy. The ball then rebounds as the stored energy is released.Pulling a Bowstring: In Archery, when you pull back a bowstring, you're stretching it and storing elastic energy. This energy is released when you release the arrow, propelling it forward.Compression Springs: Springs in machines and vehicles, like car suspensions, store elastic energy when compressed. This energy can then be used for shock absorption or to provide a return force.Stretching a Slinky: When you stretch a Slinky toy, it stores elastic energy. When you release it, the Slinky contracts and bounces back and forth, releasing the stored energy.In each of these examples, elastic energy is stored in the material as it deforms (stretches or compresses) and is later released when the material returns to its original shape.

∙ 12y agoanything that stretches or compresses can store elastic energy.
most common example is a coil spring. It has an equilibrium position, and you must do work (add energy) on it to move it from that position. That energy input is stored in the form of elastic energy.

How is the energy that causes an earthquake stored before the earthquake happens?
It is stored in the form of elastic strain (also known as elastic potential energy) in the rocks of the crust as they deform under stress.
The release of stored energy from rocks that are deformed by stress is called elastic?
shock
What is the hypothesis that explains the release of energy during an earthquake is called?
elastic rebound hypothesis
How does the elastic rebound theory explain the occurrence of earthquakes?
The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to sit original shape is called elastic rebound. Elastic rebound happens when stress on rock along a fault becomes so grat that the rock breaks or fails. This failure causes the rocks on either side of the fault to jerk past one another. During this sudden motion, large amounts of energy are released. This energy travels through rock as seismic waves. These waves cause earthquakes. The strength of an earthquake is related to the amount of energy that is released during elastic rebound.
Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of which kind of energy stored in rock subjected to great forces?
Thermal energy
What are examples of elastic energy?
rubberbands
What are 3 examples of Elastic energy?

Examples of elastic to elastic energy?
A trampoline and a jack in the box. I hope that helps :P
Examples of potential energy?

What are two examples of micanical energy?
a) gravitational potential energy, b) kinetic energy. I believe elastic energy would also be considered mechanical energy.
Is elastic energy a type of energy?
Yes, elastic energy is a type of energy.
Compare and contrast elastic potential energy and chemical energy.Give examples.?

What is an example of a joule?
A joule is simply a unit to measure energy. Examples of energy include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, sound energy, light energy, elastic energy, nuclear energy.
What are examples of what type of energy?
* thermal energy * chemical energy * nuclear energy * mechanical energy * magnetic energy * electrical energy * radiant energy * elastic energy * sound energy * luminous energy * gravitational energy
What energy is in elastic objects?
kinetic and elastic potential energy
What type of energy is stored in the elastic?
Potential Elastic Energy.
How is elastic energy produced?
elastic energy is produced when something is stretched and the tension in the object is called elastic potential energy.
