Lesson 4-Elastic Energy

Front

What is the material in your body that allows it to bend and stretch?

Back

Elastin.

Front

What type of energy conversion occurs when a ball bounces from a height?

Back

Gravitational to kinetic.

Front

What is bending or stretching something out of shape called?

Back

Deformation.

Front

Why doesn't playdoh have elastic energy?

Back

It does not go back to its original shape.

Front

What types of tissues are cartilage, ligaments, and tendons?

Back

Connective tissues.

Front

What is elastic energy?

Back

The potential energy stored in an object when it is deformed (stretched or compressed).

Front

Give an example of a material that has elastic energy.

Back

Rubber bands.

Front

What happens to elastic energy when a stretched rubber band is released?

Back

It converts to kinetic energy.

Front

What is the difference between elastic and inelastic materials?

Back

Elastic materials return to their original shape after deformation, while inelastic materials do not.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.
