Question

Explain how the elastic band can be made to store energy? how can its energy be released

Answer 1

$\huge\purple{\boxed{\bold{☾ANSWER☽}}}$

You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy. ... When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic (motion) energy.
