Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	gravitational potential energy
B	chemical potential energy
C	elastic potential energy
D	kinetic potential energy

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -When we pull to stretch a rubber band, energy is stored in it. This energy is called elastic potential energy. The more you stretch the rubber band, the more energy it has. Wind-up toys work the same way too!

Detailed explanation-3: -A stretched rubber band has the potential to do work or change things. This form of energy is called elastic potential energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The coil spring of a wind-up clock. An archer’s stretched bow. A bent diving board, just before a divers jump. The twisted rubber band which powers a toy airplane.
