Elastic Potential Energy is _____________________________________.

• the ability of a material to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or deformed.

• potential energy that is stored due to the deformation of an elastic object, such as a stretched spring.

• energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy is released during chemical reactions.

• the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.

• the flow of thermal energy.

What does elastic energy depend on?

• deformation and rigidity

• deformation and mass

• rigidity and elasticity

• mass and elevation
