Question

7. What is the energy transformation that occurs when you stretch a rubber band? * 1 point a. Kinetic to thermal energy b. Mechanical to kinetic energy c. Kinetic to potential energy d. Potential to kinetic energy

Answer 1

When you stretch a rubber band, you are performing work on it, which stores energy in the form of potential energy. When you release the rubber band, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the band returns to its original shape. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**d. Potential to kinetic energy**
