It has gravitational potential energy because it is energy that is stretched or squeezed, and rubber bands are squeezed objects that is what makes them potential energy.

What energy is compressed springs and stretched rubber bands?

Potential energy. When springs are compressed or rubber bands are stretched, they store potential energy due to their deformed state. This potential energy can be released as kinetic energy when the springs expand or the rubber bands contract.


What form of energy stretched rubber bands?

Elastic potential energy is the form of energy stored in stretched rubber bands. When a rubber band is stretched, it stores potential energy that can be released when it returns to its original shape.


What kind of energy is in compressed springs and stretched rubber bands?

The energy stored in compressed springs and stretched rubber bands is potential energy. This energy is stored in the objects due to their deformation and is released when they return to their original shape.


Do rubber bands have energy?

Rubber bands do store potential energy when they are stretched or compressed. When released, this stored energy is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in the rubber band snapping back to its original shape.


Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands store?

potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy when the spring is released or the rubber band is let go.


The energy in springs and rubber bands is?

Potential Energy - Stored Energy or the potential to do work Kinetic energy is energy of motion, as you in a car. If the car runs into a tree, the kinetic ehergy in your body throws you into the windshield. And it hurts.


Why do rubber bands have potential energy?

Only if they are stretched. It takes energy to pull the rubber band apart; in theory you can recover the energy when it collapses again. That's what potential energy is all about.


Compressed springs and streched rubber bands are stored what energy?

Compressed springs store potential energy, which is energy stored in an object due to its position or state. Stretched rubber bands also store potential energy as they can release kinetic energy when they snap back to their original shape.


If a rubber band have potential energy what does it have potentiel to do?

A stretched rubber band has potential energy like a spring. It has the potential to snap back. I used to build model airplanes with rubber band motors. I also had a rubber band gun that shot rubber bands. The potential energy stored in the rubber bank is what made these devices work.


What kind of energy do rubber band have?

Rubber bands store potential energy when they are stretched, which is a form of elastic potential energy. When released, this stored energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the rubber band to snap back to its original shape.


When you stretch a slingshot you give it?

potential energy due to the stored tension in the rubber bands. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy to launch the projectile forward.


What type of energy does compressed springs and stretched rubber bands have?

Elastic potential energy. When a spring is compressed or a rubber band is stretched, work is done on the object to store potential energy that can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
