Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands are what type of stored energy?
Elastic energy - which is a type of potential energy.
What is a form of potential energy?
There are three main types of potential energy: elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and chemical potential energy. Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can either be stretched or compressed. The more the object is stretched or compressed, the more elastic potential energy it'll have.
Which term best describes energy stored within a stretched object?
kenetic
In the area of physics what is potential energy?
Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored within an object and it can be released or converted into another form of energy. Potential energy is most often associated with restoring forces such as in a spring, which stores potential energy when compressed or stretched.
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called strain energy?
The energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy.

Are compressed springs and stretched rubber are stored potential energy?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
What elastic potential energy?
Elastic potiential energy is the energy stored when an object is squeed or stretched.
Energy stored by a stretcher or compressed object?

Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called strain energy?
The energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy.
Define elastic potential energy and gravitional potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.
What kind of energy does a slinky have?
energy that is stored in the spring when it is compressed.energy is stored in the spring when it is stretched.
Is stretched rubber band a potential energy or kinetic energy?
A stretched rubber band is potential energy because the energy is stored.
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.
