Elastic Energy and Energy Transfer

Front

What is elastic energy?

Back

Elastic energy is a form of potential energy based on how an object deforms and reverts to its original state.

Front

Which of the following is NOT an example of elastic energy?

Back

Throwing a ball in the air.

Front

What factor has the biggest impact on an object's elastic energy?

Back

Rigidity.

Front

Can only one type of energy be present at a time?

Back

False.

Front

What happens to energy when a rubber band is stretched?

Back

Energy is stored as elastic energy.

Front

What is an example of energy transfer?

Back

When a ball bounces on the ground, kinetic energy is transferred to the ground and back to the ball.

Front

What type of energy is present when a spring is compressed?

Back

Elastic energy.

Front

What happens to elastic energy when an object returns to its original shape?

Back

The elastic energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and elastic energy?

Back

Mass affects the total energy but rigidity is the primary factor for elastic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.
