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.
Elastic potiential energy is the energy stored when an object is squeed or stretched.
Elastic force is a type of force exerted by an elastic object, like a spring or rubber band, when it is stretched, compressed, or twisted. This force is caused by the object's tendency to return to its original shape or position. The magnitude of the elastic force is directly proportional to the amount the object is stretched or compressed.
When an object is stretched, the intermolecular bonds within the material are pulled apart, causing the object to lengthen. The material stores elastic potential energy as it is stretched, which is released once the stretching force is removed, causing the object to return to its original shape. If the stretching force is too great, the object may deform permanently or break.
A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy, which is stored when the rubber band is stretched and can be released when it is allowed to contract back to its original shape.
When you bend or stretch an object, its shape changes temporarily due to the application of external forces. Once the forces are removed, the object may return to its original shape or may retain a new shape depending on the material properties. If the object is stretched beyond its elastic limit, it may undergo permanent deformation.
Elastic potential energy is stored in a stretched string, which is the energy stored in an object when it is deformed (such as being stretched) and can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
Elastic energy is the energy stored in an object when it is compressed, stretched, or deformed. It is a form of potential energy that can be released when the object returns to its original shape. Examples include a stretched rubber band or a compressed spring.
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.
Elastic Potential energy
The potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched is called elastic potential energy. This energy is stored within the stretched object and can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
Elastic potential energy is stored in elastic objects when they are stretched or compressed. This energy is potential energy that can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
Elastic potential energy because it is the potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed.
