what kind of energy is stored in the rubber band
Answer (1)
The energy stored in a rubber band when it is stretched is **elastic potential energy**. This type of energy is due to the deformation of the rubber band from its original shape. When you stretch the rubber band, you are doing work to change its shape, and this work is stored as potential energy in the band. When the rubber band is released, the elastic potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the band returns to its original shape.
