Which transformation of energy takes place when a slingshot launches a stone? (PE stands for potential energy.) A. elastic PE to
2 answers:
Answer:
B. elastic PE to kinetic energy
Explanation:
As we know that when we stretch the slingshot to some distance then the elastic energy is stored into the sling which is given as
here we know that
k = elastic constant of the sling
x = stretch in the sling
now when we release the sling from that position then the shot will move with certain kinetic energy from it and sling comes to its natural length
so here we can say that elastic potential energy of the sling will convert into kinetic energy of the shot here so correct answer will be
B. elastic PE to kinetic energy

The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
where q is the charge of the proton,
, with 
being the elementary charge, and 
and 
are the initial and final voltage.
Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
and in Joule:
