MCQ
A stretched rubber has
- AIncreased kinetic energy
- ✓Increased potential energy
- CDecreased kinetic energy
- DDecreased potential energy
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Increased potential energy
b
(b) Due to stretching, a potential energy is stored in the rubber band which is released on releasing the rubber. Thus, potential energy is increased.
(b) Due to stretching, a potential energy is stored in the rubber band which is released on releasing the rubber. Thus, potential energy is increased.
