Elastic Potential 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 type of energy is stored energy?

Back

Potential Energy.

Front

At which position does the child on the swing have the most gravitational potential energy?

Back

Z.

Front

What does elastic energy depend on?

Back

Deformation and rigidity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its position or condition.

Front

What happens to elastic potential energy when an elastic object is stretched?

Back

It increases as the object is deformed.

Front

Can elastic potential energy be converted to kinetic energy?

Back

Yes, when the elastic object returns to its original shape.

Front

Give an example of an object that has elastic potential energy.

Back

A stretched rubber band.

Front

What is the relationship between elasticity and potential energy?

Back

More elastic materials can store more potential energy when deformed.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its height above the ground.
