tension
It should be string. That is elastic potential energy
To hold them together. Its not string because then if you have a big hand the elastic will make it stretch.
It depends on the material used to hold the tabs together.If a string or cloth is used,no it will no stretch over your hand.If an elastic type material such as the rubber used in scrunchies is used,yes,it will easily stretch over your hand.
Yes, a catapult has potential energy when its arm is pulled back and loaded with a projectile. The potential energy is stored in the arm's position and is released when the arm is released, launching the projectile.
elastic (a stretchy string)
sove it in a box with string my string
How tight the string is and how far it goesThe type of material used.
Compression
Compression
a line is a set of infinite points. a stretched string is finite.
When you compress a string, the potential energy stored in the string increases. This potential energy is due to the elastic properties of the material and is stored as strain energy. When the string is released, this energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the string returns to its original shape.
Think of a bowling ball sitting on a shelf. The ball itself is no different from a bowling ball sitting on the floor, but one of them contains enough potential energy to break the bones in your foot if you drop it. The energy that is converted when you stretch the elastic or string from its relaxed state is called potential energy by analogy, even though there's really no potential field equivalent to gravity.
