Does a streched rubber band have potential energy?
Yes. It has elastic potential energy.
Compressed springs and streched rubber bands are stored what energy?
Potential energy.
What goes back to its original shape after being streched and is used in force meters?
That would be a spring, which is stretched when you apply force to it. The spring used have a specific force constant, which means that an extension of the spring to a certain length is equal to a fixed amount of force.
Compressed springs are what kind of energy?
The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation: U=.5kx2 U= potential energy (in joules) k= the spring constant x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed) This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
How potential energy arises an elastic spring?
Let's say you compress the spring. Work (mechanical energy) is required to compress the spring; this energy is stored in the spring and can be recovered (converted to another type of energy) when the spring returns to its normal position.
What is an example ofpotential energy?
A raised object; a compressed or streched spring; separated magnets...
Give one example of an object before and after it has gained elastic potential energy Explain what has changed in the object to produce the energy?
a streched out spring. the spring is compresed so it has potential energy and when it is released it has elastic potential energy
When a rubber band is streched it has what kind of energy?
Elastic Potential Energy
Does a streched rubber band have potential energy?
Yes. It has elastic potential energy.
Compressed springs and streched rubber bands are stored what energy?
Potential energy.
Potential energy of an object depends on what?
Its position. If the object is placed above the ground, its potential energy is mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the distance from the ground. If the object is a spring, it depends on how far it is streched or compressed. .5kx2, where k is the spring constant, and x is how much the spring has been compressed or stretched. There are many other forms of potential energy, but these two are probably the most common.

What sort of energy is in the compressed spring?
Spring potential energy.
Example of spring energy?
Compressing a spring is potential energy in a system.
