Question: Name the energy stored when a rubber band is stretched?...

Name the energy stored when a rubber band is stretched?

Explanation

Solution

Hint : Elastic potential energy is the mechanical potential energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as it is subjected to elastic deformation by the work performed on it. Elastic energy occurs when objects are impermanent compressed, stretched or generally deformed in any manner. Elasticity theory primarily developed formalism of CX CZC stretched rubber band is not an example of elastic energy.
The elastic potential energy equation is used in calculations of positions of mechanical equilibrium. The energy is potential as it will be converted into other forms of energy. Such as kinetic energy and sound energy

Complete step by step solution:
On stretching a rubber band, potential energy is stored in it.
I refer to the energy which an object has due to its position. Moreover we call it potential energy because it has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy. Besides in the equations usually, we use the capital letter sometime PE for denotation.

Note: Potential Energy is defined as the energy that is stored in a body because of the change in either configuration of that body, or the position of the body. The condition is that there must be a factor present either in the body or around it that makes it go back to its original configuration or position. Gravitational potential energy is that an object has due to its height or vertical position. Also the energy is stored consequently of the gravitational attraction of the earth of the object. In the same way the gravitational potential energy of the massive wrecking ball is raised and the mass of the ball. Moreover the mass of the ball and the gravitational potential energy has a direct relationship between them. In addition the more massive ball the more gravitational potential energy. Moreover there is a direct relation between the height of the object and the gravitational potential energy.
Potential energy is stored in rubber.
