The rock will break because it can be stretched no farther.
An object stretched beyond its elastic limit may be deformed (adopt a new permanent resting shape) or break.

Which object has elastic potential energy?
A stretched rubber band.
What elastic potential energy?
Elastic potiential energy is the energy stored when an object is squeed or stretched.
How is elastic energy produced?
elastic energy is produced when something is stretched and the tension in the object is called elastic potential energy.
What elastic potential energy depends on?
Elastic potential energy depends on the distance the object is compressed or stretched.
What happens when the elastic limit of bungee cable is exceeded?
If a force is too great, the elastic limit will be exceeded. After the elastic limit is an area called the plastic region. The object may be stretched further in this area, however it will not returned to its original shape and will be permanently distorted. Eventually, the object will reach its breaking point. If the force applied is within the elastic limit, the object will return to its original shape.
What is the potential energy called that is associated with object that can be stretched or compressed?
Elastic Potential energy
When an archer bends a bow what type of energy increases in the bow?
Elastic potential energy because it is the potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed.
What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
What is the ability of a solid object to return to its original size and shape after it has been stretched called?
Elastic Deformation
What is a form of potential energy?
There are three main types of potential energy: elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and chemical potential energy. Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can either be stretched or compressed. The more the object is stretched or compressed, the more elastic potential energy it'll have.
Define elastic potential energy and gravitional potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.
What is meant by the elastic limit for a particular object?
Elastic deformation means that while the force is applied to a body some deformation ( bending , streching , etc) will take place but as soon as the force is removed the body will return to its original shape with no defects.
