Question

question 25 of 25
what kind of energy is stored when you squeeze a mattress?
a. chemical energy
b. elastic energy
c. kinetic energy
d. gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

When you squeeze a mattress, it deforms elastically. Elastic energy is stored in an object when it is deformed elastically and has the potential to do work when it returns to its original shape. Chemical energy is related to chemical reactions, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and gravitational potential energy is related to an object's height in a gravitational field.

Answer:

B. Elastic energy
