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

No.


What factor does the elastic potential energy depend on?

Elastic potential energy depends on the material's elasticity (spring constant) and the amount of deformation or stretch from the equilibrium position.


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

Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.


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 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.


How would you describe the elastic potential energy when using a slingshot?

Elastic potential energy in a slingshot is the energy stored in the stretched elastic material (such as rubber bands) when the slingshot is drawn back. This energy is converted into kinetic energy when the slingshot is released, propelling the projectile forward. The amount of elastic potential energy stored depends on how far the slingshot is drawn back.


What two factors does elastic potential energy depend upon?

Elastic potential energy depends on the spring constant (stiffness of the spring) and the displacement from equilibrium (how far the spring is stretched or compressed).


What are 3 examples of Elastic energy?

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.


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.


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.


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.
