Other Potential Energy Types

Question 1

If the distance of the elastic band is stretched is________ then the distance travelled by elastic band will _______ because ________ the higher the EPE which will release more KE causing the distance to be _______.

Answer 1

If the distance of the elastic band is stretched is INCREASED then the distance travelled by elastic band will ALSO INCREASE because THE FURTHER THE ELASTIC BAND IS STRETCHED, the higher the EPE which will release more KE causing the distance to be FURTHER.
