Question

when a rubber band is stretched it acquires some energy while stretching .
(a) name the type of energy gained by the stretched rubber band .
(b) how it gained this energy . explain

Answer 1

(a) Energy gained is Elastic Potential Energy.
(b) It gained energy by distortion of elastic objects.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• When a rubber band is stretched it acquires some energy while stretching, it possess elastic potential energy.

• Elastic potential energy is acquired by deformation of elastic objects. In case of stretching of rubber band or springs

• When it is stretched kinetic energy is produced and due to the conservation of energy, this energy is converted to elastic potential energy.
