Elastic Energy

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy that is stored due to the deformation of an elastic object, such as a stretched spring.

Front

What does elastic energy depend on?

Back

Deformation and rigidity.

Front

In which position is a spring most likely to have lost its elastic potential energy?

Back

Position X.

Front

What is energy conversion?

Back

One type of energy changing to another type of energy.

Front

Which object has elastic potential energy?

Back

A stretched bow.

Front

What is the definition of deformation in the context of elastic energy?

Back

The change in shape or size of an object due to an applied force.

Front

What is rigidity?

Back

The ability of an object to resist deformation.

Front

How is elastic potential energy calculated?

Back

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 * k * x^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement.

Front

What happens to elastic potential energy when a spring is released?

Back

It is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is an example of elastic energy in everyday life?

Back

A drawn bowstring before releasing an arrow.
