That depends how hard you pull it. For example, if you don't pull it at all, it has zero potential energy. It also depends on the characteristics of the rubber band.

Does the rubber band possess potential energy when the spring is stretched?

yes it has potential energy


How can you give a rubber band potential energy?

You can give the rubber band potential energy by stretching the rubber band, however if you let it go and it moves then it will no longer be potential energy.


Is stretched rubber band a potential energy or kinetic energy?

A stretched rubber band is potential energy because the energy is stored.


What kind of energy stored in rubber band?

Astretched rubber band has potential energy.


How does a rubber band store potential energy?

potential energy


What is a good hypothesis for the question how will the stretch of the rubber band effect the potential energy created?

If the rubber band stretch increases, then the potential energy will increase. Or: If the rubber band stretch decreases, then the potential energy will decrease.


If a rubber band have potential energy what does it have potentiel to do?

A stretched rubber band has potential energy like a spring. It has the potential to snap back. I used to build model airplanes with rubber band motors. I also had a rubber band gun that shot rubber bands. The potential energy stored in the rubber bank is what made these devices work.


When a rubber band is stretched what kind of energy is it?

When a rubber band is stretched, it has potential energy. Any type of stored energy is known as potential energy.


What energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy
