Question
which type of energy transformation occurs when a stretched rubber band is released? potential to kinetic kinetic to potential radiant to electrical chemical to nuclear
A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy due to its deformed state. When released, it moves, converting that stored potential energy into kinetic energy (energy of motion). The other options don't match: kinetic to potential would be when stretching the band, radiant to electrical and chemical to nuclear are unrelated to this scenario.
