Potential Energy

Question 101842 • 350CR Integrated Science

In which situations is elastic potential energy present? Check all that apply.A bow is drawn back from its equilibrium position.An arrow rests on a bow.A spring toy dart gun is unloaded.A spring toy dart gun is loaded with a dart.A bungee cord is connected to a tall tower.A bungee cord is stretched with a person at the end.

Answer
A
A bow is drawn back from its equilibrium position.
B
An arrow rests on a bow.
C
A spring toy dart gun is unloaded.
D
A spring toy dart gun is loaded with a dart.
E
A bungee cord is connected to a tall tower.
F
A bungee cord is stretched with a person at the end.

Explanation

Elastic potential energy is stored when an elastic object is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium shape. A drawn bow and a loaded spring toy dart gun have deformed parts that store this energy, and the stretched bungee cord stores energy as well. An arrow merely resting on a bow, an unloaded gun, and a bungee cord that is only attached to a tower are not necessarily deformed.
