a streched out spring. the spring is compresed so it has potential energy and when it is released it has elastic potential energy

Give one example of an object before and after it has gained elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
Explain the ideas of potential and kinetic energy using a rubber band as your example?
When you stretch the rubber band you are doing work and energy is stored in the elastic, this is potential energy. When you release the band, the potential turns into kinetic and you have movement, until the elastic has returned to its unstressed original state. Im bored humor me
What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
Example of elastic potential energy?
Bunjee jumping Catapult
Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
Is a wind up toy that is wound-up an example of elastic potential energy?
yes
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.
What is an example of potentiual energy?
Here are some examples of potential energy:Gravitational potential energyEnergy in an electric fieldEnergy in a magnetic fieldNuclear energyEnergy stored in a spring or similar elastic materials
What kind of energy is an example of potential energy?
potential energy is stored energy so like, pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the bow back is a form of potential enegry because it's stroing energy This would be an example of elastic potential energy. Other types include gravitational potential energy, electrical potential energy and chemical potential energy.
What is an example of elastic potential energy changing into kinetic energy?
Bunjee jumping Catapult Hope this helps :) If you want to know what elastic potential energy is, I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/forces/forceselasticityrev1.shtml
What solid is elastic?
Lots of solids are elastic. Steel, for example. Another one is "elastic".
What is an example of a object with elastic potential energy?
Rubber band. Bungy jump cord, anything that can stretch and then return to it's normal state.
