Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.

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


What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?

Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.


What is an example for energy transferring to elastic energy?

An example of energy transferring to elastic energy is when a spring is compressed. When a force is applied to compress the spring, potential energy is stored in the spring as elastic potential energy. This energy can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.


Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?

No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.

What form of energy is in stretched elastic?

The energy stored in a stretched elastic is potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. When the elastic is stretched, work is done to stretch it, and this work is stored as potential energy in the elastic material.


What type of energy is used before and after a ball is bounced?

Gravitational potential energy before the ball is bounced which changes to kinetic energy and then to elastic potential energy.


What energy is in elastic objects?

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.


Which example best illustrates a change from elastic potential energy to kinetic energy?

A ball dropped from a height transforms its stored elastic potential energy due to gravity into kinetic energy as it accelerates downward.


Can Elastic potential energy be converted to gravitational potential energy?

Yes. For example when a mass hung to a spring is displaced downwards from its equilibrium position, it oscillates and at the maximum height, the body has gained gravitational Ep compared to its initial position.
