Why energy is stored in stretched wire?
Elastic potential energy (EPE) is stored in a stretched wire because when it is stretched it has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy and because energy cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of energy) this energy must start from somewhere and that is EPE.
Can you give me an example of a potential energy?
One example of potential energy is the energy stored in a stretched rubber band. This energy is potential because it is not being actively used at the moment but has the potential to do work when released.
Identify the type of energy stored in a streched bungee cord?
The type of energy stored in a stretched bungee cord is elastic potential energy. This energy is stored in the cord when it is stretched and can be released when the cord is allowed to contract back to its original length, such as when a person jumps off a platform attached to the bungee cord.
What increases when a metal spring is stretched horizontally?
The potential energy stored in the spring increases as it is stretched horizontally. This potential energy is converted from the work done to stretch the spring against the restoring force. Additionally, the length of the spring increases while the tension within the spring also increases.
Which has more elastic potential energy when stretched a thinner rubber band or a thicker rubber band?
A thinner rubber band has more elastic potential energy when stretched compared to a thicker rubber band because the thinner rubber band stores more energy per unit length due to its greater stretching capacity and elasticity.

What energy is useful and what energy is wasted in a bungee jumper?
Useful energy would be the potential energy stored in the bungee cord when it is stretched out at the top of the jump, which is converted to kinetic energy as the jumper falls. Energy that is wasted would include any sound, heat, and other forms of energy dissipated as the bungee cord stretches and returns to its original length.
What happens to the molecules in a rubber band when tension is applied?
When tension is applied to a rubber band, the molecules in the rubber band are stretched apart, resulting in an increase in the overall length of the rubber band. This stretching occurs because the tension causes the molecules to pull away from each other, storing potential energy in the rubber band.
How do you think the potential energy will change if you change the length of the ramp?
Gravitational potential energy depends on the difference of height. If the length of the ramp is changed, but the endpoints have the same difference in height, there won't be any change in gravitational potential energy. If, on the other hand, the change is done in a way that the height does change, then gravitational potential energy will also change.
How does a spring form and what factors contribute to its shape and function?
A spring forms when a material is twisted or stretched, causing it to store potential energy. Factors that contribute to its shape and function include the material's elasticity, diameter, length, and number of coils.
Is length an example of kinetic or potential energy?
Length is a characterization of spatial dimension, i.e. distance. It is a completely different physical concept from energy.
Compressed springs are what kind of energy?
The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation: U=.5kx2 U= potential energy (in joules) k= the spring constant x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed) This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
What is the length of the rolls-Royce phantom?
A "stretched" car is is stretched to the length the customer chooses and there is not a standard one size fits all.
