Question 3 • Chemistry A.1 - F26 - Jacob Metsker
Elastic potential energy is stored when an elastic object is deformed from its relaxed shape. Drawing back a bow bends it, loading the dart gun compresses its spring, and stretching the bungee cord deforms it, so each stores elastic potential energy. An arrow merely resting on a bow, an unloaded gun, and a cord that is only connected to a tower are not necessarily deformed.
