Stretching a rubber band is like moving a brick from the floor to the table top. To get it there, you have to apply a force (to overcome gravity) for a certain distance (the height of the table). The gravitation potential energy is equal to the force times the distance.
The rubber band is a little different, as the force increases the more you stretch it - but it is storing potential energy just the same. It's called elastic potential energy.
What else can I help you with?
What type of energy does compressed springs and stretched rubber bands have?
Elastic potential energy. When a spring is compressed or a rubber band is stretched, work is done on the object to store potential energy that can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
What is elastic energy?
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.
What is alastic energy?
Elastic energy is the energy stored in an object when it is compressed, stretched, or deformed. It is potential energy that can be released when the object returns to its original shape. Examples include a compressed spring or a stretched rubber band.
Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands store?
potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy when the spring is released or the rubber band is let go.
What is the work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched?
The work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched is the energy stored in the spring due to the deformation. This energy is potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.

Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands store?
potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy when the spring is released or the rubber band is let go.
What are other forms of potential energy?
A stretched rubber band, a compressed spring, an elevated object, chemical bonds.
What is the work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched?
The work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched is the energy stored in the spring due to the deformation. This energy is potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
Which has potential energy stored in the form of elastic energy?
A stretched rubber band has potential energy stored in the form of elastic energy. This energy is stored when the rubber band is stretched and can be released when the band is allowed to return to its original shape.
What has more Elastic Potential Energy a spring apart or together?
A spring has more elastic potential energy when it is compressed (together) rather than when it is stretched (apart). This is because the potential energy of a compressed spring is stored in the spring as potential energy due to compression, whereas in a stretched spring, the potential energy is due to the stretching force applied to it.
What force is like a rubber band?
The force that is most similar to a rubber band is the spring force. Just like a rubber band, a spring can store energy and apply a restoring force when stretched or compressed.
What form of energy is stored on a stretched spring?
Elastic potential energy is stored in a stretched spring. When the spring is compressed or stretched, it gains potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
Can you name 2 objects which contain strain energy?
A stretched rubber band and a compressed spring both contain strain energy.
Elastic potential energy is associated with objects that can be what?
Elastic potential energy is associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed, such as springs, rubber bands, or elastic materials. When these objects are deformed, they store potential energy that can be released as kinetic energy when they return to their original shape.
