Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a =  constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2}  [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} =  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Answer:  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when:
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.
