Explanation:
<u>Elastic Potential Energy
</u>
Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.
Solving for Δx:

Substituting:

Calculating:
