Lesson 4-Elastic Energy

Front

What is the elastic limit?

Back

The point at which an object stops stretching and starts to tear.

Front

What type of tissues are cartilage, ligaments, and tendons?

Back

Connective tissues.

Front

Why doesn't playdoh have elastic energy?

Back

It does not go back to its original shape.

Front

What type of energy is at its maximum at the highest point of a bouncing ball?

Back

Gravitational energy.

Front

What is elastic energy?

Back

Energy that an object has because it can bend or stretch.

Front

What happens to an object when it exceeds its elastic limit?

Back

It may tear or become permanently deformed.

Front

Can elastic energy be stored?

Back

Yes, elastic energy can be stored when an object is stretched or compressed.

Front

Give an example of an object that has elastic energy.

Back

A rubber band when it is stretched.

Front

What is the difference between elastic energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Elastic energy is stored in an object due to its shape, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

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

Back

The stored elastic energy is released as kinetic energy.
