Question 1

what objects can store elastic potential energy and when?

Answer 1

elastic objects can store elastic potential energy if they are stretched or squashed

Question 2

explain how elastic potential energy is stored in elastic objects.

Answer 2

work is done on an object when its shape changes. when work is done, energy is transferred, and this energy is stored as elastic potential energy. when the object returns to its original shape, the stored elastic potential energy is released
