If the elastic band is stretched, there is elastic energy stored in it. That's a type of potential energy.
Potential Elastic Energy.
it comes from what ever wound it up in the first place. it is stored as elastic potential energy
That is potential energy, converted to kinetic energy when the toy rolls.

Elastic Potential Energy
Elastic Potential Energy
There are many types of potential energy. If the potential energy in question is stored in the form of a stretched elastic band, then there is some type of movement that the elastic band will restrict. But if the energy is stored in an electric battery, then no restriction of movement results.
I think the answer you are looking for is the stored energy (elastic potential energy) in the twisted rubber band becomes kinetic energy.

You can treat the rubber band as a spring. Ve=1/2*k*x2Where Ve is the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, k is the spring constant for the rubber band (can be calculated experimentally), and x is the distance the rubber band is stretched.
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.
That is potential energy, converted to kinetic energy when the toy rolls.
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
Elastic potiential energy is the energy stored when an object is squeed or stretched.
