Elastic potential energy is stored energy that results from applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the elastic object returns to its original shape, doing work in the process. Warping can involve compressing, stretching, or twisting the object. Many objects are specifically designed to store elastic potential energy, for example:
The spring of a wind-up clock An archer stretching his bow A bent diving board just before the diver jumps The rubber band of a slingshot A rubber ball, compressed as it hits a wall of bricks.
Explanation:
An object designed to store elastic potential energy will usually have a high elastic limit. However, all elastic objects have a limit to the load they can carry. When the deformation goes beyond the elastic limit, the object no longer returns to its original shape. In previous generations, winding clocks powered by coil springs were popular accessories. Nowadays, we do not usually use rope smartphones because there are no materials with a high enough elastic limit to store elastic potential energy with high enough energy density.
