It is the measure of how far something can be stretched and returned to it's natural state when released.

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

Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.


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.


What are 3 examples of Elastic energy?

What is the difference between elastic force and elastic potential energy?

Elastic force is the force exerted by a stretched or compressed elastic material to return to its original shape. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an elastic material when it is stretched or compressed. The elastic force is responsible for restoring the material to its original shape, converting the stored elastic potential energy back to kinetic energy.


Give one example of an object before and after it has gained elastic potential energy?

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.


How does an elastic power car work?

Elastic cars work by converting elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The most potential energy, the more kinetic energy.


Is potential energy that depends on height is elastic potential energy?

No.


What kind of energy has catapault when elastic has been pulled back?

A catapult has elastic potential energy when the elastic has been pulled back. This potential energy is stored in the stretched elastic material. When the catapult is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the projectile is launched forward.


How do you calculate the elastic potential energy of an object?

To calculate the elastic potential energy of an object, you can use the formula: Elastic Potential Energy 0.5 k x2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the object from its equilibrium position.


How potential energy arises from an elastic spring?

Potential energy occurs in a spring when it is stretched because it now has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy it is said to have elastic potential energy (EPE)


What form of energy does a compressed spring have?

A compressed spring has potential energy stored in the form of elastic potential energy. This potential energy is ready to be released as kinetic energy when the spring is allowed to expand and return to its natural state.
